Wine Cellar Climate Control Systems

Why Are Wine Cellar Climate Control Systems Important?

We know you spent a great deal of time and money curating your prized wine collection — which is why proper wine climate control design is non-negotiable. At Air Shepherd, we specialise in wine cellar climate control systems and wine cellar construction that ensures your wines age gracefully and maintain their optimal flavour profiles. Here’s why climate control is essential for wine storage:

Temperature Stability

Wine is highly sensitive to temperature fluctuations. Good-quality wine climate control installation ensures a consistent environment, preventing premature ageing or spoilage.

Humidity Control

Maintaining the right humidity level is crucial. Our wine cellar humidity control systems prevent corks from drying out or becoming too moist, which can cause wines to become oxidised.

Air Quality

Proper air circulation helps to prevent musty odours and mould growth on your corks and labels. Our wine room air conditioner design ensures your collection is stored in pristine conditions.

Light Protection

Exposure to light, especially UV rays, can damage wine. If you’ve ever opened a bottle with the scent of wet cardboard on the nose, you know what sunlight can do to a wine’s aroma. Our wine cooling system designs factor in features to minimise light exposure, protecting your collection from harmful rays.

Vibration Reduction

Continuous vibrations can disturb the sediment in the wine, affecting its quality. Our custom wine cooling system installation services include vibration-dampening solutions and whisper-quiet climate control systems.

Regular Air Conditioning vs Wine Climate Control

You might wonder — why not use a regular air conditioner? Standard air conditioning units are not designed for the specific needs of wine storage. They can’t maintain the precise temperature and humidity levels required. In fact, most split systems remove moisture from the air, which may cause your corks to crack.

Our wine room air conditioner installation focuses on creating an environment where your wine can mature perfectly. Unlike regular air conditioners, our systems provide a stable temperature range between 12°C and 18°C and maintain humidity levels between 50% and 70%.

The Refrigerator Myth

A common misconception is that a refrigerator can serve as a wine cellar — but not all fridges are built the same. Refrigerators are designed to keep food icy cold and dry, which is the opposite of what wine needs. They operate at temperatures too low for wine storage and lack the necessary humidity control. Our wine cooling system supply and installation are tailored to the specific needs of wine, ensuring the best possible storage conditions. The wine climate control systems we supply transform an entire room into a cellar, giving you more storage space than a fridge could ever achieve.
