Drinking and collecting wine is a lifestyle. And grand collections should be put on display. Here are five of the sexiest wine cellars we've seen recently, all balancing the elements that keep wine safe with serious modern design panache. Open a nice bottle, check out these projects, then get in touch when you are ready to put one of these beauties into your home or as part of your next project.

4. The Mickey Mouse Wine Wall
Orlando, Fl
This elegant — yet totally fun and Disney-ish wine cellar — was crafted as part of a beautiful interior design job by Marc-Michaels Interior Design (read our interview with the designer). This wasn’t a home for a massive Walt Disney fan, rather a high-end residence created in the Four Seasons Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort. Throughout the community, the mouse ears are showcased in subtle fashion. It’s a thing.
Wine Cellar Details:
- Design by Marc-Michaels Interior Design
- 140 bottles
- Vino Rails, cork-forward aluminum wine pegs
- Anodized black finish
- Cork-forward orientation
- Passive wine cellar

3. Hollywood Cellaring
Beverly Hills, Ca
It's not an easy endeavor to build a crazy cool wine cellar that is part of an indoor/outdoor floor plan, but the designers for this modern storage area in Beverly Hills used UV protective glass to keep the wines safe. Two dark glass walls allow for this cellar to open up to the kitchen and an entertaining room.
With lights on at night, it really pops into the forefront.
Wine Cellar Details:
- 192 bottles
- Wall Series metal wine racks
- Mounted on Floor-to-Ceiling Frames (FCFs)
- Chrome finish
- Label-forward orientation
- Wine racking and metal framing cost: $7,584

2. Rustic Modern in a Ski Town
Park City, Utah

Wine Cellar Details:
- Design by Jaffa Group Design
- 1,080 bottles
- Wall Series metal wine racks
- Satin black finish
- Magnum bottle storage
- Label-forward orientation
- Wine racking and metal framing cost: $3,428
