Platinum Wine Racks For Princely Wine Cellars

Ever dreamed of owning a wine cellar that reeks of royalty? Seems like everyone does! But a lot of us get turned off at the thought of how much a princely wine cellar can run into. Well, here’s some really good news for all wine enthusiasts out there: wine cellars fit for royalty are just within your reach! How so? It’s all about knowing how to utilize the right wine rack combinations. And thanks to the Platinum Series we proudly carry here at WCI, you can achieve princely wine cellars’ at a not so princely budget.

Top of the line luxury…

If you can recall our Tech Tuesday Episode #80, we featured what as perhaps once of the most luxurious looking wine cellar projects we have had the pleasure of designing. The client decked his wine cellar purely in our Platinum Series collection, creating a very elegant look for his wine racking system. The greatest advantage in using the racks from this series is because you can turn out an almost limitless number of wine racking styles. The Platinum Series sports the widest variety of wine racking options, from individual to bulk bottle storage, single or double deep storage options, including spacing for half bottles. Thus, storage is not limited to just standard-sized bottles but to champagne, magnums, and other larger sizes as well.

All the racks from this line are beautifully crafted from a variety of wood choices. The quality of the workmanship is nothing short of outstanding, resulting in polished, exquisitely designed racks that are definitely fit for royalty. The trademarks of the Platinum Series wine racks are the beveled rails with eased edges, eased edge front posts, and CNC machine spacer bars which are all responsible for producing a totally smooth and seamless transition from floor to ceiling of any custom wine racking system. Corner and curved wine racks add to the almost effortless flow of the racks, evening out even the sharpest and most stubborn corners. Plus, the collection of gorgeous wine displays make for the perfect places to showcase your most precious bottles.

At an economy price!

You probably won’t believe this until you’ve actually gone through our design consultation process, but the Platinum series wine racks definitely won’t hurt your budget. For one thing, you can opt for more reasonably priced wood choices without compromising on their quality. You can also go for stained or unstained versions of the rack, depending on your budget. Sometimes, unstained versions of the racks are even more attractive, particularly when you’re aiming for an old-world chic or vintage appeal to your wine cellar. For example, unstained Rustic Pine makes for a totally authentic vintage look that brings a whole new meaning to the phrase, “looking like old money.”

Moreover, with the many alternatives to dressing up your wine racking system provided by the Platinum Series, you can certainly find a way to meet a desired budget. Our lovely custom moldings, archways, tasting tables and workstations, and custom cabinetry options enable you to come up with more interesting wine racking combinations. If you’re feeling a bit lost on the kind of look you want to achieve for your wine cellar, it’s just a matter of utilizing our free design consultation services. You can actually request for a complimentary 2-dimensional drawing of your desired design. Just from this, you will be able to save a lot since there’s even no need to shell out for initial design fees!

So why settle for a fine custom wine cellar when you can have a princely one instead? Plate those wine cellars in Platinum today!

Bulk Wine Storage Wine Racks: Why Bulk Can Still Be Beautiful

Isn’t it kind of common for us to shy away from anything that’s big or bulky? We think of it as something unattractive or inconvenient. But when we’re talking about wine cellars, bulk can be equivalent to beautiful. How is this possible? It’s pretty simple. Here at WCI, we understand first-hand just how challenging it can be to store a whole load of loose bottles, wine crates, cases, and boxes, especially when you have space issues in your wine cellar. Thus, we’ve come up with creative wine racking solutions that are no slouches when it comes to style. Thanks to our collection of bulk wine storage wine racks, your wine cellars can still look stunning despite all those big and bulky crates, bins, and boxes.

Wood Case Storage|Fixed Shelves

Our Fixed Wine Shelves offer the perfect storage solution for wood wine cases that are too large to be stored properly in standard wine racks. The shelves are generally available in single deep options but you can also order in for double deep wine case storage. The racks are beautifully crafted and you can have your pick from our bevy of quality wood choices. Each cubicle can hold one wine case each with the long monogrammed side facing out for easier organization. Placing the shelves side by side make for a nice, smooth transition in your wine racking system.

Adjustable Wine Shelves

True to its name, our adjustable wine shelves are probably the most space-efficient bulk storage racking option you can find anywhere. You can simply adjust the shelves to accommodate wood cases, cardboard cases, bins, and larger-sized bottles with no problem at all. The shelves’ height can be adjusted to suit any spacing preferences and achieve consistency with your existing wine racking system. The shelves incorporate machine bored holes and pegs which you can insert and remove anytime you want to change up the placement to accommodate just about any of the box or bottle.

Cardboard Case Wine Storage

These come in three different variations to address any bulk storage issues in your wine cellar. You have your fixed columns or rows, adjustable wine shelves, as well as pull out wine shelves that can all comfortably store cardboard cases, boxes, and bins. All the racks sport eased edge front posts to ensure that your cases or bottles will remain intact without the cardboard cases or labels being damaged when you remove or replace them. Again, these are available in a bevy of wood options along with custom stains and finishes to match the look of your existing wine racking system.

Still not satisfied? Well, just hold your horses up there a bit because these are not all that we have for you. Other bulk storage options include the following:

• Pull Out Wine Shelving for Wood Cases
• Pull Out Wine Shelving for Cardboard Cases
• Rectangular Open Wine Bins | Fixed Shelves
• Pull Out Rectangular Wood Wine Bins

Plus, you can also check out our gorgeous collection of commercial wine racks and displays and metal commercial wine racks for even more unique bulk storage options. So who says that anything big or bulky cannot be beautiful? Not when it’s wine cellars we’re talking about and certainly not when you have WCI bulk wine storage wine racks at your disposal!

What a Wine Cellar Winner Looks Like!

Let us help you guys start the week right with some really exquisite wine cellar news.  Today, we have the absolute pleasure of featuring the completely finished Harrison home! We’ve been working quite hard on this project for some time now and the results have delighted us to no end. So we’re sharing these uber gorgeous images of the finished product to showcase to the wine cellar world what a wine cellar winner should look like! Now if everyone can still recall, we ran a contest last year with a full wine cellar transformation handled especially by the very best of WCI’s professional design specialists as the grand prize. So do you guys still remember our wine cellar winner from 2011? Well, just to refresh our memories, it’s the Harrisons who walked away with the trophy. The installation team was hard at work on their wine cellar room back in August 2011, while our wine cellar factory created the beautiful wine racks for the project. The interior of the Harrisons’ home had a unique, rustic appeal to it so we decided to play along those lines with their wine cellar as well. The Platinum Series was entered in as their selected project since it’s our top-of-the line wine racking system. When the winner was selected, we were delighted to see what a project they were planning. After all, a grand prize winner deserves nothing but the finest of WCI’s products! Here’s a closer view of the individual bottle wine racks, fixed wine shelves, and displays in Black Walnut. Our ingenious designers incorporated the best elements of bulk storage, combining solid Diamond Bins with Face Trim with the wine shelves and displays to accommodate magnums and other larger-sized bottles. Moreover, the custom wine cellar lighting added in enhances the beauty of both the racks and the bottles perfectly. The entire look of the wine cellar reeks of a classy vintage aura that we’re loving so much! We got another close-up shot of the exquisitely crafted wine displays accentuated by warm LED lights. Here, you can see just how snug and secure the larger-sized bottles are, including champagne. You can also choose to highlight your best bottles just like what our designers did here with a combination of LED Downlights and LED Display lighting. It took awhile for the Harrison’s to fully stock their wine cellar. We also did some quality control on their beautiful tongue and groove side paneling and ceiling. It was worth it! What do you think? The tongue and groove paneling was done in Black Walnut as well to create the perfect accents for the wine cellar. Notice how fresh, polished, and wonderfully seamless the entire racking system turned out. The goal was to create a very clean, organized look but nothing too stuffy or standard. Thanks to the flexibility of the Platinum Series, everything seems to have come together in a most unique fashion! Again, we want to draw everyone’s attention to the versatile combination of individual and bulk storage wine racks done on the Harrisons’ wine cellar. The floor space designated for their wine cellar project wasn’t all that big but once our designers were done, it resulted in a wine room that can hold over one thousand bottles. That’s pretty impressive considering the limited, pre-assigned space. As you can see from the images, the wine cellar is not even filled to the brim yet. That means the Harrisons can continue to enjoy expanding their collection without worrying too much where to put all the new acquisitions in! It’s a two thumbs-up to our amazing design specialists who managed to match the wine cellar project with the home’s existing decor.  A modern, home-country feel that speaks of both comfort and elegance is simply beautiful in all angles. This is what this wine cellar is all about. And THIS is what a wine cellar winner should look like! Each year, WCI brings in more wine cellar fun and surprises for all wine cellar enthusiasts out there. YOU may even be the next grand prize winner and have your transformation tale up here in our blog for everyone to witness and enjoy! We invite you to fill out a Design Request Form if you are thinking of creating your own wine room, or just looking for the perfect combination of wine racks to fit somewhere in your home or business. This week we are having 10% off our Designer Series wine racks which ends on May 5, 2012! So keep watching out for more of our specials, follow us on Facebook and Twitter, and never hesitate to contact us for any and all of your wine cellar needs.

Diamond Wine Racks: Why They’re More Than Just A Pretty Face

We’ve noticed that whenever we run features of wine cellar transformations on the blog, one of the more common comments are on our diamond wine racks. Most of them exclaim about how pretty or attractive the racks are and they’re quite spot on. Indeed, the first thing you would really notice about our diamond racks is their unique appearance. The diamond design is aesthetically appealing and adds a certain flair to almost any wine racking system.

But apart from the visually stimulating appearance of the racks, there’s more to them than meets the eye. We decided to talk about the functional side of our diamond beauties today, if only to show wine cellar enthusiasts that when they purchase the racks, it’s not just all about the looks. If you check out our Platinum Series racks, you’ll be able to find the complete compilation of our diamond racks and bins. You will also come to learn that the racks are categorized into those that are for individual bottle storage and those for bulk storage options.

Essentially, diamond racks and bins were really crafted for bulk storage purposes. However, since we’re called Wine Cellar “Innovations,” we’ve always tried to think outside the box in trying to provide the best wine cellar solutions to our loyal patrons. Thus, we also designed diamond racks meant specifically for individual bottle storage such as our Individual Diamond Bin Wine Rack and Diagonal Bin Wine Rack. Both are exceptionally attractive and highly economical to boot. Both can store dozens of wine bottles in standard and larger sizes and champagne bottles as well. The Diagonal Bin Wine Rack, for example, was specially constructed to fit in seemingly unusable spaces in a wine cellar. The gorgeous geometric design of the rack is actually just a huge cherry on top of it all!

Now as for the standard racks and bins for bulk storage purposes, one definitely would not find fault with the way they can store standard-sized bottles, magnums, and champagne. The semi-custom configurations enable you to work the racks together with your existing wine racking system while adding a wonderful bit of drama to the same. You’re certainly not hampered by ceiling or height requirements since the racks are carefully designed to fit any wine cellar dimensions. Check out these lovely gems and learn more about their individual features:

• Solid Diamond Bin
• Solid Diamond Bin with Front Face Trim
• Solid Diamond Cube
• Solid Diamond Cube with Front Face Trim
• Open Diamond Cube with X Divider
• Open Diamond Cube with Single Divider
• Open Diamond Bin

Our diamond wine racks can be utilized in any type of wine cellar, whether residential or commercial. Moreover, they come in a variety of beautiful wood choices that only add to their aesthetic charm. This also means that they are even more durable than what their sumptuous exterior projects. When all is said and done in your custom wine cellars, one thing’s for sure. Our diamond wine racks are definitely more than just pretty faces in there ^_^.
