It's a dry heat. Although we’ve all heard that old saw many times, it never rings more true than when discussing proper wine storage. As anyone who’s ever opened a much anticipated bottle of wine only to discover something horribly wrong can attest, improper wine storage (especially in Arizona!) is a big no-no. Even wine stored on a kitchen counter or under the bar is susceptible to damage. Leave it in the trunk of your car too long – fuggedaboudit! Fortunately, SPORTSMAN’S offers a number of easy and economical solutions.


These days there are many different wine storage cabinets available for people who have finally decided to make the investment in proper wine storage. As you’ll quickly learn, wine storage units vary tremendously in price, appearance, quality and mechanics. It's extremely important to realize that a lot more goes into these cabinets than just aesthetics and an air conditioner. Proper humidity control, for example, is of vital importance to wine storage. Minimal temperature fluctuation is another substantial issue to consider, as is the utilization of high grade construction materials.

SPORTSMAN'S proudly offers the complete line of Vinotemp wine cellars and wine cellar accessory equipment: storage systems, cooler systems, wine racks & wine storage cabinets. Vinotemp is the premier choice for wine cellars around the world. Our decision is based upon the feeling that people who take the time to research and invest in fine cellar-worthy wine take wine storage seriously, and therefore deserve and expect the highest level of quality. Feel free to stop by any of our locations to have one of our sales associates discuss your wine storage needs. For more information on Vinotemp, please click here.

There are many things you need to consider when designing and building home wine storage. For hundreds of years, wine was stored in cellars deep underground. This environment (provided by Mother Nature) happenened to create nearly ideal conditions for wine storage. Wines age best at temperatures that are 55-58 F combined with relative humidity levels from 55-75 percent. Storing wine outside of these temperature & humidity parameters can rapidly affect the taste, quality and longevity of the wine. Your challenge is to recreate these ideal conditions in an artificial environment - whether it’s in a garage, basement or even a room within your house.

When considering custom-built wine storage for your home or office, it’s imperative that you consult a licensed & bonded professional. SPORTSMAN’S has identified and worked with the very best custom wine cellar contractors & equipment maintenance people in the industry and we are happy to recommend these talented individuals to you. Please call or stop by any of our locations to learn more. For more information on building your own in-home wine cellar, please click here
