Building of a wine cellar does not require a permit as long as there is no structural changes to the walls.
Many factors must be considered when determining timeline to build a fully functional wine cellar, such as the project’s complexity, site conditions, size of wine cellar, materials to be used, to name a few. With these factors in mind, a wine cellar can take 4 weeks and on.
Yes, a wine cellar can be installed in a condo or apartment, but it requires careful planning and consideration of space limitations, temperature and humidity control.
A properly built climate controlled wine cellar will add value to a home, particularly in higher-end markets. A wine cellar often acts as a desirable amenity, increasing a home’s appeal to potential buyers and potentially increasing its resale value.
The ideal temperature for a wine cellar is 58F. this allows for a variety of bottle consumptions to be stored, like whites, reds, champagne, liquors, etc.
Having a climate controlled wine cellar allows the wine to be enjoyed at their best. A properly temperature controlled wine cellar along with enough humidity plays an important role in keeping temperature steady (and preventing fluctuations), while preventing adverse chemical reactions which can lead to spoils.

Not all materials are suitable for wine storage. Wine is sensitive to light, temperature fluctuations, humidity and materials chosen must support these conditions. Materials chosen must be durable, have moisture resistance and have aesthetic appeal.
There is no minimum or maximum bottle capacity a wine cellar can be built to. This really comes down to space availability, collection habits, budget, etc.
When designing a wine cellar, one must take into account factors such as:
• Architectural style of home
• Interior design elements
• Colours, materials, etc.
