Olympia, WA (PRWEB) December 05, 2011

According to real estate website Zillow.com, Adding a wine cellar can help your homes value when you resell your home, and its one of the best ways to showcase your treasured bottles of wine. But homeowners dont have to wait until they sell their house before enjoying custom wine storage in their home. Most of the wine racks and cellars created by the WineRackStore are built specifically for the owners themselves. We were very excited about the entire project, said a customer from Chicago who worked with the WineRackStore to create a custom cellar, Now I just need to buy enough wine to fill this wonderful wine cellar.

A custom built wine rack or wine cellar can be placed anywhere in a home. Over the many years of custom building, the WineRackStore has created wine storage solutions for closets, basements, garages, under stairways, pantries, inside built-in cabinet spaces and everywhere in between. A couple times weve actually had clients request a custom rack for their crawl space, said Mike Kitson, Owner of the WineRackStore.com, Just give us your dimensions and we can make anything possible.

Customers who shop at the WineRackStore always receive one on one service and work with an in-house CAD drawer to create a storage space that meets their exact specifications. The WineRackStore employees provided excellent support through the design process, the cellar is spectacular! I plan to put my favorite wine bottles on the display shelves, said a customer from Falls Church, VA

Each year the company tries to enhance the program by adding more benefits that will assist schools and non-profit groups in the city with their fundraising programs. This year Cole Hardware is expanding their gift registry to include their community partner groups so that they can register for supplies needed for special projects or create an ongoing wish list of products that they need to run their programs.

Cole will set up the registry and the community can easily access the groups wish list and purchase online any of the items on their list or a gift card.

In light of the programs success, the company has decided that every month they will collect spare change for one of their community partners.

In November their spare change collection will benefit the Haight Ashbury Food Program (HAFP), which was founded in 1983 as a neighborhood response to hunger. Decembers change collection efforts will benefit Big Brothers, Big Sisters of the Bay Area.

Everyone enjoyed this unique wine event so much last year because each wine had its perfect pairing, Bingham said. We wanted to make it bigger and better this year to donate even more to The Childrens Home.

The Childrens Home is very excited to be a part of this event again this year, said Merrill Stewart, Interim Director of Development. The funds raised are critical for us to support the children living on our residential healing campus, so that they can have the intensive therapeutic treatment they need, to thrive again in a family setting.

Tickets are $ 50 per person and can be purchased online at http://www.crucellarstampa.com, by calling 813-831-1117 or by stopping into Cru Cellars at 2506 S. MacDill Ave. in South Tampa.

Wine Fridges For Your Home 0

Posted on September 15, 2011 by wine

Wine fridges are a great way to safely store wine in your home. Wine storage needs special standards to protect your wines.

Installing a full size wine cellars is expensive and most homes just don’t have enough room available so more and more people are checking out small wine fridges.

There are several important differences between a wine fridge from a standard kitchen fridge.

First is the temperature. Your regular fridge is designed to cool items quickly to a temperature of around 40F. Instead a wine fridge is designed to cool your wine more slowly to 53-57F.
A wine cooler maintains the higher humidity that helps keep the wine cork moist whereas regular refrigerators are designed to remove humidity to better store perishables.
A wine fridge will also be devoid of the pungent smells and odors (think onions or leftovers) that could ruin the flavor of your wine.
Finally, wine fridges are designed to minimize the vibrations that can cause your wine to spoil. Just think about how many times the doors to your kitchen fridge are opened and closed each day.

Fridges for wines come in a variety of finishes that can easily be matched to your other kitchen appliances.

What Size Do You Need

Consider how many bottles of wine that you might want to store then double it. Once you start storing your wine, your collection will likely grow as you find favorites.

You can find countertop units that hold just a few bottles or larger freestanding units that can hold hundreds of bottles.

Just like there is a wide range of sizes available there are also a wide range of prices.
