Whether you own a restaurant that serves wine or you own a wine shop or high-end liquor store, selling more wine is your main goal and the best way to do that is by installing one or more commercial wine rooms or commercial wine cellars Dallas TX. There are two reasons why having a professionally-installed wine cellar or room is important. First, proper wine storage ensures that the wine you’re selling will last as long as possible and taste as good as the winemaker intended it to. Second, presentation is extremely important in the world of retail sales; wine showcased in the right setting will be more appealing to your customers.

Commercial Wine Cellars Dallas TX: Ensure The Wine You’re Selling Tastes Good

The best way to make sure that you’re selling a quality product, and one that tastes the way it was meant to taste, is by storing it in the right environmental conditions. Wine requires the right temperature -- around 55℉ -- to remain chemically stable. Temperatures above 70℉ can cause wine to age too quickly. When temperatures reach 80℉ or higher, your wine is essentially cooking, and the aroma and flavor will be flat. Temperatures below 45℉ can cause corks to shrink, which allows air into the bottles. Oxygen in small quantities is necessary for wine production, but too much oxygen can result in wine that is discolored and flat. Humidity control is also essential for wine storage, with a constant 70% being the ideal. Too little humidity can cause corks to dry out and oxygen to seep in. Too much humidity can lead to mold problems. A professionally-installed wine room or wine cellar will control both temperature and humidity variables to keep wine properly stored until it’s sold.

Commercial Wine Cellars in Dallas TX: Ensure The Wine You’re Selling Looks Good

While it’s true that winemakers take the first steps to ensure that their wine is appealing by storing it in colorful glass bottles with artistic labels, it’s still your job to make sure the bottles stay appealing after they reach you. Dusty bottles with torn or discolored labels are only appealing to customers if the wine you’re selling is from a medieval, underground catacomb. In a brightly-lit restaurant or wine shop, customers expect wine bottles to look as if they just left the winery. Professional shelves and racks ensure that wine labels are protected from damage and that the wine is stored at the correct angle so that corks stay wet and the wine inside doesn’t discolor through oxidation.
