Through the Wall Cooling Units for Medium Wine Cellars

Yes. Most wine cellars require a dedicated cooling unit to maintain the stable temperature and humidity levels needed for proper wine storage and aging.

The most affordable option is a self-contained, through-the-wall cooling unit. It’s simple to install, effective, and does not require complex ductwork.

A wine cellar should be maintained at about 55 degrees Fahrenheit, which is ideal for slow, steady aging.

Start by insulating the walls, ceiling, and floor, and installing a vapor barrier. Use moisture-resistant wall materials, and add a dedicated wine cellar cooling unit to ensure stable temperature and humidity.

With proper installation and regular maintenance, wine cellar cooling units typically last 10 to 20 years.

Yes. A wine cooler keeps wines at the proper temperature and humidity, protects them from spoilage, and ensures they are ready to serve.

A wine cooler is a compact appliance designed for short- to medium-term storage and serving temperatures, while a wine cellar is a climate-controlled room built for long-term storage and aging.

In hot climates, store wine in a dedicated wine cooler or a climate-controlled cellar to protect it from heat damage and premature aging.

For short-term cooling, use an ice bucket. For longer storage, place the wine in a cool, dark, insulated area such as a basement or an interior closet away from heat sources.

Any temperature above 70 degrees Fahrenheit is too hot for a wine cellar and can cause wine to age too quickly or spoil.
