Applications
Small wine room cooling
Small cellars make the most of what you already have, turning a cupboard, spare room, or unused corner into a controlled wine space.
Many UK homes have compact spaces that can be turned into effective climate-controlled wine storage. Under-stairs areas, utility cupboards, alcoves, small storerooms and partitioned sections of larger rooms can all work well when planned correctly.
Encool supplies THENOW Air wine cellar cooling systems suitable for small wine rooms from 5m³, including compact split systems for rooms, cabinets and enclosed wine displays. For installers, designers and project teams, the key is early planning — the wine room cooling unit, insulation, vapour barrier, services and racking layout should be considered before the space is built.
Read our full guide to planning small wine rooms, or try the cooling calculator for a quick sizing estimate.

Common questions
Small wine room questions
Is room volume enough to choose a unit?
Room volume is a useful starting point, but not enough on its own. A small glazed wine wall may need more care than a larger insulated cellar. Heat gain, insulation, airflow, glazing, door seals and service access all matter.
Do glass wine walls need special planning?
Yes. It is more complex to successfully climate-control a smaller air volume such as a wine wall. A larger glass area can increase heat gain and condensation risk. The cooling system, airflow path, glazing specification, carcass insulation and door design should be considered together.
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.
