Acrylic Wine Cellars

Architectural Plastics designs and fabricates acrylic wine cellars for clients who want the bottles to feel like they’re floating. These systems are built in clear acrylic (often searched as Lucite or plexiglass) to reduce visual mass while keeping structure, stability, and clean detailing.

If you’re an architect, builder, or interior designer looking for a modern, high-end wine storage solution, acrylic can create a cellar that reads more like architecture than cabinetry.

Why Acrylic (Lucite / Plexiglass) Wine Cellars

Acrylic wine storage changes the visual hierarchy of the room. Instead of racks and cabinetry dominating the space, the collection becomes the focal point.

Common reasons designers choose acrylic:

  • Minimal visual obstruction bottles appear to float

  • Clean lines and modern geometry

  • Works well with stone, wood, metal, and lighting features

  • Ideal for dramatic LED and backlit effects

  • Premium finish that reads high-end in close viewing

What We Build

  • Full acrylic wine cellars and room-scale wine storage systems

  • Clear acrylic (Lucite-style) wine racks and bottle display walls

  • Floating bottle rails, partitions, and architectural acrylic components

  • Integrated lighting coordination and concealed cable planning

  • Mixed-material builds combining acrylic with wood and metal when specified

  • Production-ready repeat components for multi-property or multi-location builds

Built for Installation Reality

Acrylic wine cellars need to look effortless while still being engineered for the real world. We plan around structural support, mounting surfaces, alignment, and serviceability so the install goes smoothly and the finished result stays clean over time.

Typical design considerations include:

  • Bottle capacity, spacing, and display orientation

  • Mounting strategy (walls, floors, ceilings, partitions)

  • Hardware concealment and clean interfaces

  • Edge finish level and show-surface protection

  • Lighting access, driver location, and wire routing plans

Finish Quality Matters

Acrylic is unforgiving. If edges, seams, and surfaces are sloppy, you see it immediately. We build with tight fit-up, clean details, and finish control so the cellar looks premium in real-world lighting and holds up under daily use.

For Architects, Builders, and Interior Designers

We collaborate with the design trade to build acrylic wine storage that fits the architecture of the space. Whether you’re matching a luxury interior palette or creating a statement wall, we can build to your drawings or help refine details during design development.
