We specialise in Bespoke Wine Cellars, following a process of concept design imagery, technical drawings, manufacturing and installation.
While some of our clients like more extravagant, bold visual displays, others can prefer classic, traditional or more contemporary designs.
As part of our design process, we will generate 3D 4k rendered images of your perfect bespoke home wine cellar.
We’ll also invite you to visit some of our many show home wine display projects in and across London.

Bespoke under stairs wine cellar installations have become increasing popular over the years. Homeowner wine collectors, use this usually void space, as a feature wine storage location in their dining rooms, lounges, and games room settings.

At Vinomagna the beauty and customisation process of our clients bespoke wine cellars will be handled and designed with all the essential understanding of wine storage preservation. This, in turn, is delivered through the critical engineered presence of our custom climate control systems.
As wine lovers, we have in the past, shared the heart breaking experience of spoilt wine and the horror that can present when that wine is part of a beloved wine storage collection. Vinomagna believe in the care of your precious collection of vintage wines as the most paramount design consideration to us. Our custom wine cellar climate control expertise plays a key feature of all Vinomagna Bespoke Wine Cellars.
The wine storage functionality is key in design, leading considerations for the cooling, humidification and ventilation.
We keep all mechanical plant concealed within cavity designs and bulkhead spaces to ensure we maintain style and functional balance.
When storing wine, minimal temperature changes should occur therefore, an Air Conditioning Installation would be the wrong application to use for wine storage rather, a Bespoke Wine Cellar Cooling refrigeration system should be used. Using an air-conditioning system would dry out the space and cork the wines over a short time period. Additionally, air-conditioning units do not operate at the 5-14c which most wines require!
Vinomagna is the UK’s leading wine longevity specialist.
Through years of refrigeration and climate control experience we understand how to maintain stable built environment climates. In our current “Wine Display Climate Control” video we demonstrate for the first time ever, the assembly of the internal coolers built in our factory.
How is Wine Cooling different from other methods of cooling you will probably ask! Vinomagna regularly talk of there being a difference between standard Air conditioning cooling and the type of cooling required for wine preservation. The simple answer is REFRIGERATION!
Refrigeration is the process of removing heat.
Air conditioning systems use refrigerant gases and perform a refrigeration cycle. In this cycle, refrigerant gas is pumped by a compressor around a closed loop system of devices and copper pipe work. The refrigerant being compressed and expanded, creates pressure changes which in turn changes the temperature of the refrigerant. The expansion of the liquid state refrigerant pumped from the outdoor condenser creates a pressure/ temperature drop. This happens within what we call our internal “coolers”.
The technical term for the coolers is “evaporators”. The refrigerant evaporates within the “evaporator” by the exchange of heat across the cooling coil. This heat exchange is caused by the fan drawing heat within the wine display air across the evaporator coil.
Air conditioning works on the same general process of heat reclaim and rejection via an external unit called a condenser. However, for wine, the refrigerant pressure and temperature design are based on the application. The refrigerant selection is based on a type with a lower temperature and pressure, that is capable of reaching the temperatures required for food and drink. The refrigerant selection for an air conditioning system operates on a higher temperature and pressure relationship. This is why a standard air conditioning system will only be able to achieve a setpoint temperature of around 16-18 *C – which is as cool as a room needs to be for the average human.
Each of our custom wine coolers has a gas control device called a thermostatic expansion valve. In the video watch as we demonstrate the fitting process and explain the custom pipework assembly involved. The TEV (thermostatic expansion valve) controls the amount of liquid refrigerant supplied to the evaporator. This is fully adjustable and set by our engineers during the commissioning process of a Vinomagna Bespoke Home Wine Cellar. The aim is to saturate the cooling coil to achieve a 5-7c temperature difference between the refrigerant inlet and outlet. This ensures the maximum refrigeration effect and achieving its design heat reclaim KW duty.
The duty design requirements, size and spacing of the evaporator coil fins are also selected to have the lowest air on and air off differences, therefore reducing dew point condensation on the coil and slowly reclaiming the heat. Maintaining higher moisture levels preserves the corks of the wine. The reduced heat reclaim process in turn reduces temperature and pressure fluctuations that shock the wine. Vinomagna delivers each and every wine display project with this technical design understanding making us the leading wine longevity professionals.
