Since 2023, Wine-R systems have been installed in 1,000+ projects across North America. Many are dedicated wine cellars. Some are climate-controlled rooms built for serious storage needs like walk-in pantries, cheese aging spaces, and other temperature-sensitive environments.

Those installations span 10 Canadian provinces and 35+ US states. They include residential homes, hospitality spaces, and light commercial applications where stable conditions matter. Each one supports something chosen with patience and built with care, from a cellar project to a room meant to hold its climate over the long term.

Real projects show what matters most. Coastal humidity, dry inland air, new airtight construction, and older homes with complex framing all ask different things of a cellar. Usage matters too, from a private room opened occasionally to a hospitality cellar that sees steady traffic.

Across those projects, one lesson keeps repeating: the best results come from the full system working together. R-20 or higher insulation, thoughtful air sealing, the right door, and a clear plan for drainage and airflow all contribute to stable cellar conditions and efficient operation. When glass is part of the design, insulated assemblies and tight seals make a meaningful difference.

That experience shaped how we support every new build. We refined our checklists, improved our documentation, and made sizing simpler with tools like our BTU calculator and plan review. The point is not complexity. It is confidence, so your cellar starts on solid footing and stays exactly as it should, year after year.
