Wine-R — Wine Cellar Cooling Designed for Real Homes

Wine-R designs dedicated cooling systems for residential wine cellars. Developed in Canada for modern homes and wine cellar projects, the brand takes a straightforward approach: maintain stable cellar conditions in a properly insulated and sealed room without requiring a complex mechanical installation.

The Wine-R WR2500 is a through-the-wall wine cellar cooling system designed to install directly through the wall. Its compact format, quiet operation and simplified installation make it a practical solution for residential wine cellars where performance and clean integration matter.

A Cooling System Designed for Real Wine Cellars

A properly performing wine cellar depends on more than the cooling unit. Insulation, room sealing, the door, room volume and airflow all contribute to stable cellar conditions.

Wine-R therefore takes a complete approach to wine cellar cooling. The WR2500 is designed for properly insulated and sealed wine cellars, with R-20 or higher insulation in the walls and ceiling and a solid insulated door with tight seals.

When installed under the recommended conditions, the system maintains stable cellar conditions designed to help protect wine over time.

Wine-R WR2500 — Through-the-Wall Wine Cellar Cooling

The WR2500 is a through-the-wall wine cellar cooling system designed for residential wine cellars up to 700 cubic feet when the room is built to the recommended specifications.

Its wall-mounted design eliminates the need for a complex mechanical room. The system installs directly into the prepared wall opening and includes the mounting frame, finish grille, wall controller and condensate drain kit.

The wall-mounted controller allows users to set the cellar temperature, monitor system status and access control functions. The system also includes a start delay and automatic defrost.

Quiet and Discreet

Residential wine cellars are often located close to living spaces. Wine-R is therefore designed for low-noise operation, allowing the system to work discreetly near kitchens, family rooms and entertaining areas.

Its through-the-wall format also creates a clean, minimalist appearance with a finished grille designed to blend into the space.

Proper Sizing for Your Wine Cellar

Choosing the right wine cellar cooling system starts with the actual room volume and construction. An oversized or undersized system can affect performance and temperature stability.

Wine-R recommends measuring the room length, width and height to calculate its cubic volume, then using the Wine-R BTU calculator to determine the appropriate cooling requirements.

The WR2500 is rated for rooms up to 700 cubic feet when the cellar has R-20 or higher insulation and a solid, properly sealed door.

A Solution for Residential Wine Cellar Projects

Wine-R is designed for homeowners, designers, contractors and builders creating dedicated wine cellars without the complexity of a large mechanical installation.

The system can suit a variety of residential applications, including basement wine cellars, dedicated wine rooms and custom wine storage spaces.

For projects that include significant glass, Wine-R recommends insulated double-pane or IGU glass and careful sealing to help maintain appropriate cellar conditions.
