Compact wine cellars and small wine cellar

Spiral Cellars offer a range of compact wine cellars for home installations from small wine cellars (our mini cellar holds up to 650 bottles) up to large Spiral Cellars (our deepest holds up to 1600 bottles!). Larger Spiral Cellars are deeper rather than wider so still a compact option when space is limited.

How do you choose the right one?

To an extent, the cellar size you choose depends on whether you’re likely to use it mostly for everyday-drinking wines (which have a higher turnover) or also to store cases of fine wine, which you may wish to hold onto for many years.

Even if you just buy three cases of fine wine a year, it’s amazing how quickly even a good-sized cellar can fill up!

As a starting point, try the following calculation. Work out roughly how many bottles of wine you might drink in an average week; multiply it by 50 to get your yearly consumption (allowing for two weeks holiday away from home). Next add on the rough number of fine wines you might buy to drink in the long-term. Finally, multiply this overall figure by five and that will give you some idea of the size of cellar you need.

 
Example

Weekday Consumption 3 bottles
Weekend Consumption 2 bottles
Yearly Consumption 250 bottles
Plus 4 cases of fine wine 298 bottles
Multiply by 5 1,490 bottles

The best compact wine cellar in this case would be either 2.5m or 3.0m deep, depending on the expected turnover of bottles.
