Semi-Custom Wine Cabinet + Peg Racking #36761
Details
When a collection outgrows a basic cooler but a full built-in installation isn't practical, this cabinet fills the gap cleanly. It's freestanding, self-contained and sized to anchor a dining room, a finished basement or a second home without requiring a buildout — and the six available exterior finishes (Unstained, Black Lacquer, Chestnut, Coffee, Driftwood and Mahogany) let it coordinate with existing millwork rather than stand apart from it. Driving the whole thing is the CellarPro 1800H Houdini, a commercial-grade cooling unit that maintains the temperature consistency long-term aging actually demands.
Triple-deep peg metal racking holds bottles label-forward, so you can read and pull without disturbing the rest of the rack. Standard capacity runs to 168 racked bottles plus bulk storage for two cases, with extended racks pushing that to 192 bottles — enough room for a serious Bordeaux and Burgundy collection with space left to grow. Double-pane glass on the doors and side panels keeps the interior thermally stable while keeping the collection visible. Door locks, remote-controlled LED lighting and crown molding come standard. The semi-custom positioning also means lead times run weeks, not months, and the price is lower than a fully custom equivalent with the same core hardware.
Best For
- Moving a 150–200 bottle collection from an underpowered cooler into dedicated, temperature-stable storage for the first time
- Outfitting a dining room or basement bar where the finish needs to integrate with existing cabinetry rather than clash with it
- Aging tannic reds over five or more years in a living space without the cost or complexity of a built-in cellar room
- Managing a mixed collection where label-forward peg racking makes daily inventory and selection faster
Features
- Semi-custom positioning: Offered in a standard size (58w x 19½d x 85h in.) with your choice of stain color, interior finish and exterior hardware. Ships in 2–3 weeks and costs less than a fully custom build, while still allowing meaningful configuration decisions.
- Six exterior wood finishes available: Unstained, Black Lacquer, Chestnut, Coffee, Driftwood and Mahogany — covering a range from light natural wood to painted finishes that can read as furniture in a dining room or living space.
- CellarPro 1800H Houdini cooling unit included: This is a self-contained, cabinet-integrated cooling system mounted at the top interior of the unit. It is designed specifically for sealed wine cabinets rather than adapted from a standard refrigeration compressor. A 2-year full-system warranty and a 5-year compressor warranty are included.
- Triple-deep peg metal racking: Each row of metal pegs holds three bottles stacked front-to-back, with bottles displayed label-forward. This maximizes density per linear foot of cabinet height while keeping individual bottles accessible without disturbing others.
- Capacity with two configurations: Standard configuration holds 168 racked bottles plus bulk storage for 2 cases (24 bottles). Extended racks bring total racked capacity to 192 bottles with no bulk section.
- Double-pane glass on both doors and side panels: The insulated glass runs the full height of both the front doors and the side panels, reducing thermal transfer on three sides of the cabinet — relevant if the unit is freestanding in a heated room rather than recessed.
- Crown molding sold separately; base molding built in: If you plan to run crown molding across the top to integrate the cabinet with room trim or cabinetry, that component is a separate purchase. The base plinth is already part of the unit.
- Remote-controlled LED interior lighting and door locks included as standard equipment
Pairs Well With
- Extended warranty for the CellarPro cooling unit (item #31488) — the refrigeration system is the component most likely to need service over a long ownership period, and the base warranty covers 2 years on the full system.

FAQs
What cooling unit does this cabinet use, and is it capable of long-term wine aging?
A: The cabinet ships with the CellarPro 1800H Houdini — a dedicated wine cooling unit engineered for stable cellar-grade temperature and humidity management, not a repurposed beverage cooler compressor. It is built to maintain the consistent conditions required for long-term aging of Bordeaux, Burgundy and other age-worthy bottles. The refrigeration system carries a 2-year warranty on the entire system and a 5-year warranty on the compressor. An extended warranty for the cooling unit is also available separately as item #31488.
What wood finish options are available, and which work best with high-end dining room millwork?
A: Six finishes are offered: Unstained, Black Lacquer, Chestnut, Coffee, Driftwood and Mahogany. Chestnut and Mahogany read warmly against traditional walnut or cherry cabinetry. Coffee and Black Lacquer integrate with darker contemporary interiors. Driftwood suits transitional or greige-painted spaces. Unstained shows the natural hardwood grain and pairs well with lighter wood millwork or natural-finish furniture.
What is the real bottle capacity, and can the peg racking accommodate both Bordeaux and Burgundy bottle shapes?
A: The standard configuration holds 168 racked bottles plus bulk storage for 2 cases (24 bottles) at the base. With extended racks, the racked capacity increases to 192 bottles. The triple-deep peg metal racking uses a label-forward pin system where each bottle rests on two horizontal pegs. Because bottles are not confined to fixed cubbies, the system accommodates varying diameters — standard Bordeaux, wider Burgundy and Champagne shapes — without wasting rack positions.
Is this cabinet freestanding or can it be recessed as a built-in?
A: This is a freestanding unit. It includes a built-in base molding and a separate crown molding — standard details for a furniture-style cabinet that stands against a wall. At 58 inches wide and 19½ inches deep (not including handles), the shallow depth means it fits against most walls without projecting significantly into the room. There is no recessed or built-in installation configuration specified for this model.
What are the warranty terms and how long does it take to ship?
A: The cabinet structure is covered by a 1-year warranty. The CellarPro 1800H refrigeration system carries a 2-year warranty on the entire system and a 5-year warranty on the compressor. An extended warranty for the cooling unit is available as a separate purchase (item #31488). Typical processing time before shipment is 2–3 weeks.
How does the semi-custom version differ from a fully custom cabinet?
A: Semi-custom cabinets come in standard sizes with a defined set of choices for stain color, interior finish, racking and exterior hardware. That standardization allows them to ship in 2–3 weeks at a lower price point than fully custom units. Fully custom cabinets are available through IWA when dimensions, configuration or finish specifications fall outside what the semi-custom program covers.
