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
