Design your
own wine
showcase.

Imagine a Spiral Cellar that isn’t spiral shaped and that can be located in ANY room or space – both above ground and below. The UnSpiral Cellar is exactly that, offering all the tailored individualism of a wine room or wine wall but in the same cellar-grade, cool-to-touch limestone concrete as our iconic underground cellars. With the UnSpiral Cellar you are free to design your own wine space using our selection of design configurations as inspiration, or we can help you.

Consisting of 38 modular and inter-changeable components, the UnSpiral is the easy way to create flexible and affordable wine storage, tailored to your needs.

Any niche, room, basement, garage, understairs or outbuilding

Now any space in the home can be turned into a wine cellar. Ranging from an understated, high-capacity cellar to an entertainment space wall of wonder.

Countless options

With 38 different modular pieces, each made at the Spiral Cellars workshop in the UK, you can create countless cellaring options as all pieces tessellate seamlessly with each other.

Stand up or lay down

Each Standard Bin can house 12 bottles of Dom Perignon or up to 18 bottles of Bordeaux and are configured for laydown wine storage. Our bins can also store bottles standing up – ideal for a spirits display or a retail application.

Each bin has the option of integral LED lighting for that added highlight sparkle.

Climate controlled or ambient

UnSpiral Cellar rooms and walls can be used as ambient room display or fully climate conditioned.

Customers love the design of our round Spiral Cellars but some also want the showcase display of a straight-sided bespoke wine room without having to excavate. This inspired us to create the UnSpiral Cellar to give the look and capacity of a Spiral Cellar but with the added variety of display and storage features found in our custom wine rooms

How to plan your UnSpiral Cellar.

If you need help designing your UnSpiral Cellar, for a small fee, fully refundable against your UnSpiral order, we can design the best UnSpiral Cellar arrangement for your needs and space.

Stage Process
01. Measure the space Start by accurately measuring your space including wall widths and heights. Note and measure the locations of any obstructions like windows, cornices, power sockets. Note: walls may not be straight so measure in several place and at several heights, measure around any obstructions and if any measurements are inconsistent work to the shortest.
02. Floor plinth layout Begin with the width and lengths of your space. Start with the UnSpiral Floor Plinth components to lay out our space in plan.
03. Set the height Next, calculate the number of bin rows required for the height of your space, remembering to also add the depth of the plinths and any pelmet uplighting required.
04. Design each wall Once you have defined the edges you can fully design each wall in elevation, adjusting types of bin and plinth as you go until you have the design that fits your needs.
05. Send it to us Lastly, send us your design and your list of estimated component quantities. Once you’ve prepared your configuration, a member of our team will then check it and take your order.

FAQs.

How many bottles can you fit in one module?

There are 3 sizes of wine bin – standard, half and double. Wine bottle sizes vary but a Standard Bin module will store 12 bottles of Dom Perignon or up to 18 bottles of Bordeaux. A half bin module will store up 6 bottles of Bordeaux and a double bin up to 36 bottles of Bordeaux.

Can I paint my UnSpiral to match the room?

The UnSpiral cellar is only available in white limestone finish but it can be painted any colour using antifungal grade paints that are suitable for concrete. Please note that this is not a service we offer.

Will the bottles roll around?

The standard wine bin is quite narrow with parallel sides allowing them to house 4 wide Champagne or 5 wide Bordeaux bottles. When filled 5 wide, bottles won’t roll. For smaller bin end quantities, the half bins are ideal. Larger double width bins take more bottles but we suggest using one of the bottle display wedges as a bookend so that mixed cases can be easily segregated in a single bin without bottles rolling.

Can I store magnums and unusual shaped bottles in my UnSpiral Cellar?

Magnums can easily be accommodated in UnSpiral Cellar modules, but the bottle cap may protrude slightly past the face of the bin. Larger bottles can be stored sideways in a double width bin to show the label using our bottle saddles. Both wine and spirit bottles can also be stored upright in the bins if required, ideal for any retail application.

Will the UnSpiral Cellar be installed for me or can I buy it as kit to install myself?

The UnSpiral Cellar is available either as a fully installed product, with installation undertaken by one of our teams of qualified installers, or as a kit. If purchased as a kit, installation is arranged by yourself and carried out by an independent
build team.

Will you deliver to the location in the home where I want my wine cellar or do I have to move the delivery myself?

If we are installing your UnSpiral cellar for you, we will unpack and move your delivery. If you are buying as a kit, it will be a kerbside delivery and you must arrange your own labour to unpack and move the delivery pallets.

What kind of maintenance is required for an UnSpiral Cellar?

The UnSpiral Cellar components are made from maintenance-free limestone-based concrete. Once installed it just requires occasional dusting with a damp cloth or cleaning with non-caustic detergent and water. Any marks or spill marks can be easily sanded out.

How heavy are the individual pieces? Does this have an impact on where it can go?

The UnSpiral Cellar is made from solid limestone concrete and the individual pieces are very heavy. The double bin is the heaviest single component and weighs 52.4kg. All nominal component weights and nominal bottle-laden weights are noted in the technical section. It is important that you check that your type of floor is suitable to take the loading of the UnSpiral Cellar plus the weight of wine. Solid concrete floors are most suitable. If in doubt, consult a qualified structural engineer.

How do the individual pieces fit together?

The UnSpiral Cellar pieces are very stable and simply sit snuggly on top of or beside each other, held under their own weight. It is important that they are set level from the plinth upwards row by row. Each component is bonded to the next and each second row is secured from the back to the wall behind. There is no danger of the components moving or toppling over.

How long does it take to assemble an UnSpiral Cellar?

In most instances, a standard size UnSpiral wine room can be assembled in assembled in 2-3 days by one of our installation teams depending upon access and site conditions. Smaller arrangements take considerably less time to install. Typically, the lighting and finishing follows on a different day to the install assembly. If you are having climate control installed in your UnSpiral Cellar, this should be undertaken prior to the cellar installation and will require a survey by the climate control installer. It is recommended that the climate control survey is undertaken, and the solution confirmed prior to your UnSpiral Cellar order in case of any required changes.

Does an UnSpiral Cellar have to be located on a ground or basement floor?

The UnSpiral Cellar can be located anywhere, on any floor and in any type of building provided the floor structure is strong enough to support its weight and the weight of the wine. In all instances, we strongly advise checking flooring strength with a qualified building professional or structural engineer before ordering.

Does the room need to be prepared in any way prior to installing an UnSpiral Cellar?

The UnSpiral Cellar can fit directly into any existing basement or garage. It just needs to sit on a perfectly level floor of a suitable structure and in front of a wall to tie back to, so do check this before delivery. If you are installing the UnSpiral Cellar in a climate-controlled environment, the room will likely need to be insulated and vapour controlled prior to installation. This may change the measurements of your room, so we advise this is confirmed before you order your UnSpiral Cellar.

What if the UnSpiral doesn’t fit in the space when it arrives?

Provided your configuration plans have been checked by our team before ordering, this shouldn’t happen. However, mistakes do happen, and we suggest that you double check all your measurements prior to ordering, particularly if there is any other work taking place in the building that might affect the space or if there are any immovable services that might also encroach on the space e.g. water, gas or electricity meters, pipework or service access hatches. It is your responsibility to order the correct items. We cannot be responsible for any adverse factors that we may not be aware of and that deem the items ordered unsuitable for the space. In cases where a mistake happens, simply return or exchange any unwanted components. You will have to pay for packaging and transport plus any difference in cost should the replacement pieces cost more than the original order. Any pieces to be exchanged/returned need to arrive with us undamaged and suitable for resale.
