Wine Cellar Accessories

From label removers to humidity gauges, these are the wine cellar accessories you need

Half the fun of building a home wine cellar is all the wine cellar accessories you get to play around with afterwards. Large wine cellars require accessories for taking inventory and measuring humidity, and small wine cellars require diaries and label removers for developing oenophiles. These are just a few of the wine cellar accessories you might find useful.

Scanners and barcode readers

Though more often used for commercial purposes, scanners and barcode readers could also be great time saving wine cellar accessories for well-stocked home wine cellars.

Barcode readers plug directly into your computer's USB port, so you can computerize your wine cellar inventory. Most wine bottles now feature barcodes, and those that don't can be tagged with a printable bar code label.

Wine catalogues

If that all sounds too complicated and unromantic, you'd likely enjoy using a wine catalogue. Wine catalogues are somewhat more old-fashioned wine cellar accessories. A typical wine catalogue is a sort of ringed binder you can use to make notes and keep inventory.

Wine tags

Wine tags are essential wine cellar accessories for any moderately sized wine cellar. Wine tags can be printable and feature assigned bar codes, or if your inventory isn't large enough for that, you can also add wine tags to bottles as a highly visual note taking system. Reusable plastic wine tags are also available that snap onto the bottle neck and feature a wipe-clean writing space.

Wine diary

A wine diary is a simple but useful wine cellar accessory. Use it to keep detailed tasting notes readily at hand, or carry it around as a small journal when you're browsing at your favorite local winery.

Label removers and savers

These wine cellar accessories typically come in packs of fifty and make the often tedious process of removing wine labels extremely simple. Wine label removers are coated with a strong commercial adhesive that removes the printed surface of the wine label from its adhesive back. A wine label remover is a great wine cellar accessory to have if you keep an album of favorite vintages, and saving wine labels can also be an easy way to remember particular wines you enjoyed.

Temperature and humidity gauges

Whether for commercial wine cellars or home wine cellars, temperature and humidity gauges are the way to guarantee quality and a safe storage atmosphere. Temperature and humidity gauges are wine cellar accessories that offer a lot of protection at a low cost.
