Once the province of only the super-rich, wine cellars are now becoming more common in custom homes.

The residential wine cellar can range from something as simple as an assemble-it-yourself kit-style rack for wine bottles, to an entire climate-controlled room with custom cabinetry that's designed for dining and entertaining. The accompanying article, reproduced here from a recent issue of PERIOD HOMES, illustrates some of the more creative possibilities in residential wine cellars. The companies listed below have the capabilities to turn every wine-lover's dream into reality.
