There’s nothing quite like having your own wine cellar and bar to impress your guests and make new friends quickly!
You can go for the traditional gothic, old world castle look with natural stone floor and walls, wrought iron chandelier-style light fittings and racks of wine reaching to the ceiling, or you may prefer a more brighter, more sophisticated modern all glass and stainless steel finish.
Traditionally of course, wine cellars were naturally cold and dark places which allowed the wine to mature and keep away from the damaging effects of heat and light. But in the 21st century, it is easy to recreate these conditions in custom wine fridges that are designed to maintain your bottles always at the perfect cool temperatures they need, so that you can relax and enjoy drinking the contents with your friends in your wine cellar but in a warmer, brighter, more comfortable and convivial atmosphere.
Some of our clients have chosen to convert just one wall into a wine storage facility which is often installed behind a bar area in a room with pool, snooker and other game tables. More serious wine connoisseurs may prefer a dedicated wine space where they can indulge their specialist hobby in quieter contemplation.
Whatever your preference, the bare bones of any basement wine cellar or bar conversion is to ensure that you start with a dry, uncompromised below grade structure with no underlying problems of foundation or wall cracks, blocked down spouts, mildew, moisture wicking or other leakage issues. Your basement should also be adequately waterproofed to prevent such problems arising in the future, and properly insulated to keep inside temperatures constant.
Once we have made your below grade structure structurally sound, Basement Bro can design and create any type of wine cellar and bar area you like, from a Victorian style, oak-beamed English pub, to a friendly, carpeted, family-style den with bar, to an ultra-chic, state of the art, stainless steel and glass, minimalist style wine-lovers emporium.
We will consult with you every step of the way to get the look and style that you prefer – at an affordable price that is right for you.
