Collecting delicious wines from across the state, country, and even around the world is a hobby many share.

Our Grand Rapids, MI, basement finishing company has the solution and can help you build your very own so you don’t have to throw out any bottles.
Here’s what you should know about basement wine cellars.
Top “Ingredients” for the Perfect Wine Cellar
We understand that your wine cellar must be constructed in a way that preserves your wine perfectly. Any misstep that allows for too much heat, light, or humidity exposure can risk all that you have stored. Because of this, our basement contractors take great care to make sure everything is as it should be for a proper storage space.
When building the wine cellar, we will ensure the area:
- Is kept at a consistent temperature of 55 degrees Fahrenheit or slightly cooler
- Remains in the 50-70% humidity range
- Provides protection from vibrations that can disrupt the sediment within the wine and reduce its quality
- Has plenty of racks to place your collection of bottles
- Isn’t exposed to UV rays and is well insulated
