Over twenty years devoted to wine
Storing a bottle properly calls for attention to several factors: the temperature, humidity, insulation, air circulation, light and vibration. The noise of the system also needs to be considered, above all for the comfort of those who use the space.
These are aspects Showine has been addressing for over twenty years, turning different technical requirements into dedicated solutions for wine storage.
The experience built up over time makes it possible to assess each project starting from the real conditions of the space and the needs of the collection. In bespoke projects, this allows us to define a solution consistent with the context, without applying a standard scheme to different conditions.
Experience means reading the space
Every environment imposes different conditions.
A cellar in an already lived-in home calls for different considerations from a wine room designed during a renovation, just as a restaurant wine cellar must also take account of service, the visibility of the bottles and the relationship with the dining room.
In the projects delivered by Showine, the existing space therefore becomes part of the work: proportions, materials, access, provisions and plant possibilities are assessed before the solution is defined.
This initial analysis helps to identify a solution consistent with the space, the needs of the collection and the technical constraints.
From storage to realisation
Showine’s expertise is not limited to choosing the technical solution.
The work can include wine cellar design, bespoke furnishing, glass walls, cooling systems, installation and final testing.
When requested, Showine can follow the project end to end, coordinating the components within its remit and liaising with the professionals involved.
At the same time, it can also step in at certain stages only, offering specialist consultancy and technical support to architects, interior designers, contractors and other professionals already involved in the project.
This flexibility makes it possible to adapt the scope of the work to the real needs of the client and the site.
Private clients, restaurants, wineries and professionals
Showine’s experience has been built by working with different counterparts, each with specific priorities.
For a private client, it may be important to integrate the home wine cellar into the living spaces and make it part of everyday life.
For a restaurant or hospitality venue, service, accessibility and showcasing the wine selection also come into play, with solutions such as a cellar on view or climate-controlled wine display cabinets.
For a winery or an industry professional, storage can be an integral part of the business and call for specific solutions for stocking, display or tasting.
The ability to adapt the project to these different contexts is a central part of Showine’s experience.
A project followed through after installation
The work does not end with installation.
Showine oversees the commissioning and testing of the technical components and remains available for after-sales support.
Designing a cellar in fact means also thinking about the maintenance and accessibility of the systems, to make the necessary work easier over time.
It is an approach that regards the cellar not as a static element, but as a space and a system meant to be used for years.

Whether it is a new climate-controlled wine cellar, a space to be transformed or a project already under way, Showine can support you in the technical assessment and in defining the most suitable solution.
