In terms of heat resistance, wines themselves become undrinkable after reaching a certain heat, so the issue of heat resistance is not generally applicable to cabinets themselves (that’s to say, if the room temperature of your cabinet is reaching high levels, your wine will not withstand the ambient temperature).
Racks destined for cellar buildouts, such as WineRacks by Marcus and Metro Wire Wine Racks, are designed with cellar humidity in mind. However, we’d recommend taking the weight of the secondary appliance into consideration, so as to not put too much pressure on the wine cabinet.Īre wine cabinets generally heat- or water-resistant?Ĭertain wine cabinets and wine racks are water-resistant, depending on the material from which they’re made. Most wine cabinets are equipped with ample shelf space, which is generally safe for storing other appliances. For those looking to build out a restaurant-grade cellar, WineRacks by Markus ( view on its site) and Metro Wire ( view at Webstaurant) are the way to go for shelving and humidity resistance.įAQs Is it safe to have another appliance on top of a wine cabinet? And, when it comes to splurging in style, we’re still heading to Pottery Barn for the Metalli option ( view at PB). Pottery Barn's Modular Bar claims the top spot because of its color, size, and versatility ( view at PB).
Note: Wine cabinets are meant for organizational purposes and do not double as wine cellars, meaning that while these pieces of furniture provide excellent storage capacity, they do not come equipped with cellar conditions (humidity, darkness) that a wine fridge or cellar would provide. We've done the research and come up with this list of the best wine cabinets for at-home storage. That said, we think that the Modular Bar 36-Inch System from Pottery Barn ticks all of the boxes and is the best option overall. Of course, as with any storage solution, knowing which of the many types of wine cabinets to choose for your specific needs is key. No matter your budget, adding a wine cabinet to your home décor promises to maximize the organization and level up the look of your space, all at once.
However, that doesn’t mean your bottles should be designated to simple countertop or refrigerator living. Let’s face it: Many of us don’t have the space (or finances) to create a full-blown wine cellar at home.
