Wine-R is a Canadian manufacturer of through-the-wall wine cellar cooling systems trusted across North America. Our approach is straightforward: clear guidance, accurate sizing, and quiet performance that fits real residential construction. When the room is insulated and sealed to spec, cellar conditions stay steady season after season. Owners and builders choose Wine-R for climate-controlled wine storage that feels calm, consistent, and properly supported.
Who We Are
Your wine cellar starts with a room designed as a system where construction, sizing, and airflow work together. When the envelope is insulated and the cooling is right-sized, conditions stay consistent and energy use stays sensible. Wine-R focuses on that foundation so proper wine cellar cooling is achievable in more homes.
What We Make
We build a through-the-wall wine cellar cooling unit for residential wine rooms up to 700 cubic feet when the space is constructed to spec with R-20 or higher insulation. Installation is straightforward, the faceplate is clean and modern, and the system is quiet by design. It is supported by a 2-year limited warranty and real people across the US and Canada.
*Wine-R is engineered for insulated rooms. If your plan includes glass, choose insulated double-pane glass with tight seals and a solid, well-sealed door. Share your drawing and we will confirm sizing for stable, low-noise performance
Sizing made easy
Get your sizing right the first time - avoid oversizing. Use our BTU calculator to confirm your room needs and we will sanity-check your plan.

Capacity & Sizing
Right-sized for home wine rooms up to about 700 cubic feet when the envelope is built correctly - think R-20 or higher insulation, well-sealed construction, and a solid door. Start by measuring L x W x H, then use our BTU calculator for an instant recommendation and we will help you avoid oversizing.
*Wine-R can cool showcase designs when they are planned thoughtfully. Because glass transmits more heat than insulated walls, choose insulated double-pane or IGU glass, keep seals tight, and confirm the plan with us before you buy. Use the BTU calculator, talk to a retailer, and share your drawing so we can validate sizing and ensure comfortable, low-noise performance without surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions & Answers
First, make sure the room is built correctly: R‑20 insulation or higher, a solid, well‑sealed door, no air leaks, and if it’s glazed, insulated double‑pane glass. A poorly insulated or oversized room is the most common cause of weak cooling. Use our BTU Calculator to verify that your unit is properly sized—neither too small nor too large. Also check that the unit is level and that there’s free airflow on the warm side. If the issue persists, contact us for a diagnosis.
Mount the wall controller at mid‑height inside the cellar, away from the unit’s airstream for accurate readings. You can set 50–77 °F (10–25 °C), and there’s a short start‑up delay that protects the compressor. If the display toggles °C/°F or the unit won’t start, check the user guide or contact us.
Yes—with precautions. Use insulated double‑pane/IGU glass and tightly sealed doors. Single‑pane glass is not recommended because it admits heat and causes condensation. Run our BTU Calculator and send us your drawing; we’ll validate the configuration to avoid surprises.
Wait a few minutes after powering on: the unit has an automatic start‑up delay of about 3 minutes. Make sure you’re on a dedicated 120 V / 60 Hz, 15 A circuit, with no extension cord or wall‑switch‑controlled outlet, and that the breaker hasn’t tripped. If it still won’t run, contact our service team.
Our 2‑year warranty covers manufacturing defects. Have your serial number, purchase date, and a description of the problem ready. Contact us by phone or via the service form on our website and a technician will guide you.
Yes. Verify that your wall opening matches Wine‑R dimensions and your electrical supply is compatible. Measure your cellar (L×W×H) and use our BTU Calculator to choose the right capacity. If you’re unsure, send us your dimensions and photos; we’ll confirm compatibility and the replacement steps.
