About Spiral Cellars
The Wine Room is the exclusive distributor of Spiral Cellars in South Africa. A Spiral Wine Cellar is an entirely natural underground cellar, capable of holding up to 1900 bottles of wine in full cellaring conditions.
A Spiral Wine Cellar can be installed under any ground floor room and doesn’t require an existing cellar or basement. Built from engineered concrete, a Spiral Wine Cellar can either be fitted cleanly into a finished room, or form part of a new house build, extension or refurbishment project. Installation usually takes no more than between three and nine days and as it creates surprisingly little mess, there’s no need to move out.
How do the cellars work?
We know the right conditions are vital when it comes to wine storage. All of our Spiral Cellars have a natural passive ventilation system, which, simply put, means that warm air is continuously replaced by cool air. The excellent thermal properties of the cellar’s concrete shell, enables it to absorb the natural ground temperature just like in a traditional cellar and the natural insulation of the earth helps keep vibrations to an absolute minimum. Your cellar can be installed at ambient room temperature (approx. 17-23 degrees in a typical Spiral Cellar depending on your location); or we can install our custom climate control unit at 15-17 degrees / relative humidity.
How are the cellars built?
To create your Spiral Cellar, we start by forming a hole in the desired location. If you opt for the excavation and installation option, our expert Installation Team will do this for you, carefully lifting your existing floor finish and leaving no mess. If you opt for our installation-only option, your builder will handle the excavation and we then complete the installation by fitting the cellar itself and your chosen lighting and door options. A Spiral Cellar won’t affect your foundations and doesn’t require any of its own as it’s surrounded by reinforced concrete and wrapped in a unique waterproof liner system.
What are the benefits?
A Spiral Cellar is the perfect way to cellar a sizable collection of up to 1900 bottles and have it close to hand, without having to invest in inconvenient bonded warehouse space. The storage conditions are tip top giving you the confidence to take advantage of buying wine young or en primeur and aging it yourself. A Spiral Cellar makes storing and cataloging vertical tastings and phased openings easier and, as it gives you the space to see your whole collection at once, there’s less chance of forgetting what you have in your collection. Finally, not only will a Spiral Cellar add a unique selling feature should you ever move, it will also undoubtedly add value to your property and give you a sound return on your investment.
