Glass Wine Cases — The Bottle Wall That Sells the Room

A glass wine case turns storage into the centerpiece — restaurants sell more bottles when the cellar is on display, and a floor-to-ceiling wine wall does for a dining room what a fireplace used to. We design, fabricate, and install custom glass wine enclosures across Chicagoland and ship nationwide.

What we build

• Floor-to-ceiling wine walls — frameless or black-frame steel-look aluminum, single lite or full enclosure
• Under-stair wine cases — the most requested residential configuration; turns dead space into the house's best feature
• Glass wine rooms / cellar enclosures — climate-ready with insulated glass (IGU) for cooled cellars
• Glass doors with stainless or matte-black hardware, soft-close hinges or sliders
• LED channel integration and glazing around your racking vendor's system

Glass specs

• 1/2" or 3/8" clear or low-iron tempered glass (low-iron kills the green tint — worth it next to wood racking)
• Insulated (IGU) construction for temperature-controlled cellars — keeps condensation off the glass
• Frameless, channel-set, or framed in black anodized aluminum

Common jobs

• Restaurant and steakhouse display cellars
• Residential under-stair cases and dining room wine walls
• Penthouse and custom-home glass wine rooms
• Country club and hotel lobby displays

FAQ

Q: How do I get a price?
A: Every wine case is quoted to the opening. Send rough dimensions and a photo of the space — most quotes go out same day during business hours. The $500 deposit reserves your spot and is credited in full, refundable if you don't move forward. Call (708) 800-7120 or use the 60-second quote form.

Q: Do I need insulated glass?
A: If the cellar is cooled (55°F), yes — IGU construction keeps condensation off the glass and the cold where it belongs. Passive (room-temperature) wine walls run single-pane tempered.

Q: Frameless or framed?
A: Frameless reads modern and disappears; black-frame aluminum gives the steel-and-glass cellar look without steel pricing. We build both.

Q: Can you work around my racking?
A: Yes — we glaze around any racking vendor's system and coordinate dimensions with your installer or millworker. LED channel integration available.

Q: Lead time?
A: Typically 3–5 weeks from approved drawings, plus install. Insulated and oversized lites run longer — confirmed at quote.
