It is no secret, India's globetrotting elite are building American style Wine Enclosures as Walls, Rooms, and Pods. Custom Wine Cellars, and Wine Displays have come into the living room as a focal center of interior design, becoming a conversation point. Cellarsdivine is India's first enterprise bringing the leading wine enclosure brands for the elite high on design residence.
Cellarsdivine is helping Affluent and Tasteful Global Indians in setting up both the wine and home bar facilities. It has supplied wine storage solutions to posh homes in Delhi, Mumbai, Gurgaon, Chennai, Bangalore, working with buyers and their architects.
What makes Cellarsdivine (Cellars divine) special, is while Indian market offers largely commercial wine coolers (in steel and high sound), Cellarsdivine truly presents residential wine cellar technologies in partnership with brands such as:
Expo Srl Italy
Caveduke SL Spain
La Sommeliere France, and
TheWineSquare Canada
On asking how Cellarsdivine was launched, the CEO of HILKNIGHTLY INDIA, Vickram Mederata shares, "Going into the residential segment from Hospitality industry was our aim from many years. We felt always this is the future. After COVID, more people were ordering Wine Coolers, Wine Cellars and Home Bars than hotels naturally. We decided to setup Cellarsdivine.com and open a showroom in Delhi."
"We understand all the nuances, design element, trends, and technology. And our prices are a lot more affordable than getting something from abroad yourself. We offer warranty and local support as well."
On the question of Market for Customized Wine Cellars developing in India, Mederata quotes, "People today have the money, the place and understand wine as consumers, yet the market is in an early stage. Sometimes new buyers are surprised to find Wine Preservation Cellars from leading brands are complex and costs in lakhs to even crores. Many are building Wine Cellars incorrectly without room insulation, temperature controls, humidity (Climate Control), instead asking their interior designer to build wine rack furniture and placing it inside an Air Conditioned room. They do not know all wines go bad with it and one cannot certainly buy Vintages and keep them badly. They lose their value. So, there will be a long work ahead of educating the public about it."
The need for a wine enclosure or custom wine cellars is where wine presentation and preservation are important for an individual, who qualifies two aspects, A) They collect wine bottles that may cost over ten thousand and may have bottles worth fifty thousand or more, and want to collect and age for long term, and B) They are building a highly visual and aesthetic living space where they would host exclusive gatherings. Cellarsdivine will not recommend customized preservation enclosures for a collection of wines below ten thousand rupees. For that, Cellarsdivine offers Service and Aging Climate Controlled Refrigerators
Wine Cellars are considered an art form of furniture that enhance the standard of design and turn into a globally appreciated design, and lets one preserve very expensive bottles that a regular fridge wont.
There are things a Wine Cellar buyer needs to know beforehand and be ready with or for in terms of Space, Budget, and Timeframes. Setting up a customized wine cellar takes time of about six to ten months. Wine cellars need space depending on if it's a wine wall or a wine room. A common wine wall can be three to six feet wide, two feet deep and height between six to ten feet. They can be built-in or free standing. Wine rooms need a room, commonly people will use six feet wide by four to eight feet deep and ten to twelve feet high. Wine enclosures are between wine wall and room, their depth is three to four feet. Lastly, a designer wine wall in form of a cabinet starts at fifteen lakh rupees (2022) to thirty lakhs. A bespoke wine cellar is between thirty to sixty lakhs. And a Wine room is above one crore Indian rupees.
Cellarsdivine will work with the interior designer's plans and build a custom wine enclosure design for its end user with a proposal. On approval, the cellar design is sent to the select brand factory for production.
