What Size Wine Cabinet Do I Need in Orlando?
Wine cabinet size depends on your collection and available space. Standard depths run 12–24 inches to fit bottles horizontally. Orlando homes need climate-controlled units due to year-round humidity.
- Small collections (20–50 bottles): Under-counter or built-in cabinet, 24" wide
- Medium collections (50–150 bottles): Full-height cabinet or pantry conversion
- Large collections (150+ bottles): Dedicated closet or room conversion with cooling unit
A cabinet maker measures your space, plans for ventilation, and builds to fit Orlando's cooling demands. Most kitchen or dining room installs need no permits.

Wine Cabinets Need Specific Depths for Proper Bottle Storage
The right cabinet depth keeps your wine safe. Bottles stored horizontally keep corks moist and prevent air from spoiling the wine. Most standard bottles fit in cabinets 12–14 inches deep. Larger bottles like magnums or Champagne need 16–18 inches.
Orlando homeowners adding wine storage to kitchens, dining rooms, or butler's pantries benefit from custom sizing. Lake Nona and Dr. Phillips custom homes often include butler's pantries. These spaces work well for built-in wine storage without taking room from your main kitchen.
We measure your space and build cabinets to the exact depth your collection needs.
Orlando Homes Gain Value with Built-In Wine Storage
Built-in wine storage signals luxury to buyers. In Windermere and Winter Park, finished entertaining spaces are expected in upscale homes. A custom wine cabinet shows your home is move-in ready.
Central Florida's housing market rewards upgrades that stand out. Generic finishes blend in. A built-in wine cabinet adds character and function that buyers notice during showings.
Whether you plan to sell soon or enjoy your home for years, wine storage adds lasting value. It turns unused wall space or closet corners into a feature worth talking about.


Climate-Controlled Cabinets Protect Wine in Florida Heat
Orlando summers reach 90°F or higher. Humidity often tops 70%. Unprotected wine spoils within months in these conditions.
Climate-controlled cabinets hold steady at 55°F and 60% humidity. These are the ideal conditions for aging wine, no matter what the weather does outside. Cooling units fit inside custom cabinets and run quietly in your kitchen or dining room.
If you collect wine for long-term storage, climate control is not optional in Florida. A properly built cabinet with the right cooling unit protects your investment year after year.
Professional Installation Ensures Proper Cooling and Fit
A wine cabinet with a cooling unit needs more than shelf space. Proper ventilation keeps the unit from overheating. Correct insulation holds the temperature steady. The right electrical setup prevents tripped breakers and wasted energy. Entertainment center cabinets face similar challenges when housing receivers and gaming consoles that generate heat, requiring thoughtful airflow design to prevent equipment failure.
In Baldwin Park and other Orlando neighborhoods, older homes may need electrical upgrades before installation. A cabinet maker coordinates with local electricians and other trades to get everything right the first time.
DIY wine racks skip these steps. Professional installation means your cabinet fits the space, the cooling unit runs as designed, and your wine stays protected for years.


Custom Cabinets Outlast and Outperform Stock Wine Racks
Retail wine racks use particle board and thin hardware. Florida humidity warps these materials fast. Within a year or two, shelves sag and finishes peel.
Custom cabinets use solid wood and moisture-resistant finishes rated for Orlando's climate. Adjustable shelving fits bottles of any size. Integrated lighting shows off your collection without adding heat.
A built-in wine cabinet becomes part of your home. It matches your kitchen style and holds up to daily use. Stock racks are temporary. Custom cabinets are permanent upgrades that look better and last longer.
