Wine collectors know that proper temperature control is essential for preserving wine’s quality and taste. Maintaining a consistent temperature is crucial to ensure optimal storage conditions for wine. And if you have a big wine cellar filled to the brim with your favorite vintages, the importance of effective cooling systems is even greater. Commercial wine cellars also require specialized cooling systems to accommodate both residential and commercial applications, ensuring optimal temperature and humidity control.
And let’s be real – keeping a large wine cellar at the right temperature can be a bit of a challenge. With a range of options available, choosing the right cooling unit for a massive wine cellar can be overwhelming. That’s why we’re here to help you with our top picks.
If you’re the proud owner of a large wine cellar (800 to 2000 cubic feet), we’ve got the inside scoop for you. Here are the top large wine cellar cooling units for your big, beautiful cellar!
Wine Guardian D200 - Ducted Wine Cooling Unit - 60 HZ
The Wine Guardian D200 Ducted Wine Cellar Cooling Unit - 60 HZ is an excellent choice for large residential and commercial wine rooms with a volume ranging from 1,500 to 7,000 cubic feet. It's a fully-ducted, self-contained wine cooling unit with a maximum capacity of 14,100 BTU/h (4.13 Kilowatts).
If you want to keep your wine collection in top condition, it's crucial to maintain the ideal wine cellar humidity. Temperature control alone isn't enough, which is why we recommend using a Wine Guardian Humidifier. While these add-ons may be optional, we strongly recommend investing in a wine cellar humidifier. The Integrated Humidifier attaches directly to your D200 wine cooler unit, or you can choose the Wine Guardian Freestanding Humidifier if you prefer it to be separate. This makes it easy to keep your wine cellar properly humidified, so you can enjoy your wine to the fullest!

Factors to Consider
Let's consider a few factors before choosing a cooling system for wine cellars. With these factors in mind, you'll be better equipped to make an informed decision and select a cooling system that meets your specific needs and requirements.
1. Size and Capacity of your wine cellar
First and foremost, you need to determine the size and capacity of your cellar. After all, a cooling system for a 100-bottle cellar won't cut it for a 1,000-bottle collection. It's important to assess the size and capacity of your wine cellar to select the right cooling system.
2. Type of Wine Cellar Cooling Unit
Wine cooler units come in various types, including self-contained and split systems, and are also available in different installation types, such as ducted and ductless.
At Wine Coolers Empire, we offer 5 main types of wine cooling units:
-
Through-the-Wall Wine Cooling Units (Self-Contained) – The condensing and evaporator units are inside the same housing, mounted between studs in a wall. No fuss, no ducting required.
-
Fully-Ducted Wine Cellar Cooling Units (Self-Contained) – Want to keep things hush-hush in your wine cellar? This type is fully ducted, so you can install it up to 25 feet away from the cellar itself. Great if you don't want the wine cellar refrigeration unit to be seen or heard.
-
Split Ductless Wine Cellar Cooling Units (Ductless Split) – The evaporator and condenser units are split. The evaporator can be located in the wine cellar while the condenser is outside or in another room for noise and heat control, making them the quietest wine cellar cooling units.
-
Fully-Ducted Split Wine Cellar Coolers (Ducted Split) – With this type of unit, both the evaporator and condenser units are separate and ducted. The ductwork delivers cool air to the cellar, making it as quiet and vibration-free as possible.
-
Cabinet Cooling Systems – These coolers are designed to fit seamlessly into wine cabinets and closet cellars.
Consider the options carefully and select the type that's most suitable for your wine cellar.
3. Noise level
No one wants a cooling system that will keep them up at night with constant buzzing. Look for the quietest wine cellar cooling units that would not disturb you and your wine collection.
4. Energy efficiency
Choosing an energy-efficient cooling system is not only environmentally friendly but can also save you money in the long run.
5. Price
Let's face it – the price is always a factor to consider. Determine your budget and look for a system that meets your needs while staying within your price range.
We've got you covered with wine cooling options for every price range, from the fancy-schmancy to the budget-friendly, we'll make sure you find the right cooling unit for your wine cellar.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is considered a large wine cellar?
A large wine cellar is typically considered to be one that can store a substantial number of wine bottles and has enough space to allow for proper wine storage conditions. Generally, a wine cellar that can store 500 or more bottles is considered large, but some may consider 1,000 cubic feet and above as a large wine cellar. However, the size is not the only important consideration, and proper wine storage conditions are crucial for preserving wine quality and preventing spoilage.
What makes an ideal wine cellar?
An ideal wine cellar provides a controlled environment that allows wine to age gracefully and retain its quality and character. It must be in a good location – dry, dark, and closed space free from vibrations, noise, and strong odors. It should be properly insulated and ventilated to maintain stable temperature and humidity levels.
What is the ideal temperature for wine cellar?
The ideal temperature range for storing wine is between 55°F to 57°F (12°C to 14°C), with a relative humidity level of around 60%. When choosing a cooling system for wine cellars, it's essential to consider several temperature-related factors carefully. Always go for high quality when purchasing a wine cooling system.
Does a wine cellar increase home value?
Yes. Building a wine cellar in your home can enhance its value by signaling wealth, taste, and sophistication. Homeowners invest in wine cellars because they recognize that such additions classify their houses as luxury homes and increase their resale value.
How do you size a wine cellar cooling unit?
To size a wine cellar air conditioner, calculate the total cubic feet of the wine cellar by multiplying its length, width, and height. Consider the location, insulation, and size of the wine collection. It's advisable to size your wine room cooling units with some allowance. For instance, if you have a small wine cellar (200 cubic feet), it's not recommended to select a unit with a maximum rating of 200 cubic feet. Instead, choose a unit rated for 300 cubic feet or more to provide some wiggle room.
Or, consult with a sizing chart or an HVAC professional to determine the appropriate cooling unit size. The cooling unit should have enough capacity to maintain the recommended temperature and humidity levels for wine storage without overcooling or undercooling the space.
