Sometimes, even the best-chosen words fall short. When you're talking about some of the incredible wine cellars that Vintage Cellars has designed in the past, the pictures really are worth a thousand words. Today, rather than waxing philosophical about wine tasting or discussing at length the benefits of wines from a particular climate, let's take a pictorial tour of some of Vintage Cellars' past projects.
I love the interesting shapes of the shelving in this wine cellar. The curves and angles make the room so much more than racks of bottles. And the tracked lighting does a great job of highlighting different parts of the room, showcasing the myriad different lines and textures hidden in a wine room.
I think that the cabinet really makes this wine room: its the delicate yet rustic design breaks up the racking, and the placement gives the eye a focal point, setting off, rather than distracting from, the wine around it. And I love the display racks here, that store bottles vertically with the topmost bottle angled up, giving the wine connoisseur the ability to easily see what's in each column.
The simple, almost Asian-style racking in this room gives it a clean, modern feel. But my favorite detail of this room is the strong, minimalist ceiling archway. It breaks the room up and makes it visually interesting, something that is really challenging to do in this kind of space, which, if you think about it, is really just a storage place for hundreds of bottles.
Wow. This room is just magnificent. There's a lot of you could say about it, but I'll limit myself to my three favorite things: 1. The small tasting table worked into the wall creates an intimate space in this gigantic wine room. 2. The stair-style shelving in the middle makes the wine seem to be spilling into the room from the ceiling--it just says opulence and luxury to me. 3. The special place for wooden wine crates. They add a warm, textural feel to the room.
I love the display of decanters in this one. They add such flowy, artistic shapes to a room of angles.
These Spanish-style doors are just gorgeous. And how cool is it to have glass doors leading into your wine cellar? To be sure, the Vintage Cellars team has to work hard to ensure that these delicate glass and wrought iron doors seal just as effectively as heavy glass ones, but isn't the beauty worth the effort?
This is a perfect example of a small space used well. The different dimensions created by the shelving really make it visually interesting: it's a corner rich with wines from around the world, which have traveled from hand to hand and place to place to come together here.
Curves are always a great addition to a wine cellar, because they help break up the visual monotony of racks upon racks. But this sweeping staircase goes far beyond. It truly gives the room a dramatic, elegant flair. And small details like the wicker-covered wine jug in the foreground really add a personal touch. These are stairs you could linger on, pondering your wine selection, for hours.
