Common questions

Wine cellar construction questions

Does a wine cellar need insulation?

Yes. The room should be built as a controlled environment. Poor insulation increases energy use, temperature instability and condensation risk.

Does a wine cellar need a vapour barrier?

A vapour barrier is strongly recommended for most controlled wine rooms. It helps reduce moisture movement into the cooled space and lowers condensation risk within the structure.

What temperature should a wine cellar be kept at?

Many wine rooms are designed around 12 to 15°C for long-term storage. The exact set point depends on the collection, use of the space and project requirements.
