Construction of the wine cellar took several months . One of the unique challenges of the space included a raised basement window , which had to be blocked and sealed in order to prevent the elements from infringing upon the environment of the cellar . According to Denomme , what many wine enthusiasts don ’ t realize is that a cellar is “ nothing like a closet .” The perfect wine cellar allows for absolute control over temperature and humidity , and this requires that cellars be engineered down to the smallest detail . The construction process is one of the most important phases of building a wine cellar and Genuwine has perfected this process .
After the unified millwork unit was set into position in the client ’ s basement , Genuwine installed a mechanized , state of the art cooling system . Cooling the air with water and low velocity fans keeps the climate inside the cellar resistant to fluctuation and allows wine to age in a perfectly controlled environment . Genuwine cellars are sealed using products that are specially designed for wine preservation ; in fact , all materials used by Genuwine are free of odours and toxins , to ensure that all wine matures and tastes just as the winemakers intended .
Once all of the components of the residential cellar were intact , Genuwine set the temperature and relative humidity to the perfect levels . A thermal insulated glass door with a threshold was installed and the cellar was complete . Thrilled with the look , shape and feel of their new cellar , Genuwine ’ s client reached the climax of their cellar-building process : filling the shelves . With Genuwine ’ s lifetime guarantee of craftsmanship , the wine will age , but the cellar remains timeless . These Winnipeg wine enthusiasts will enjoy the ideal in climate , storage and design in their cellar , and will continue to savour the best wines that the cellar has to offer for years and years to come . www . genuwinecellars . com
