Strongbox Wine Cellar, with two locations in Chicago operating since 1987, is a premier facility company providing storage and quality customer service for individuals, investors, and restauranteurs looking to store vintage wines. Operating on principles of precise wine cellar refrigeration, our underground wine cellars are climate controlled and the humidity is strictly regulated, resulting in the best aging and maturing facilities in the area.
Wines evolve in the bottle, maturing to their respective peaks best under controlled wine bottle storage conditions. To this end, Strongbox follows scientific principles of wine cellar refrigeration. It is generally agreed that 55 degrees is the perfect temperature for the storing of wines, as lower temperatures slow development, and higher temperatures cause wine to become aged at a far quicker rate, causing them to peak too early and lose the proper flavors. Our state of the art climate control system maintains this optimal temperature year round, no matter the temperature outside or in the rest of the building outside of the underground wine cellars. Electronic sensors detect any differential and quickly rectify the problem, even adjusting as soon as warm bottles are introduced into the environment.
Each cellar also has a strictly monitored relative humidity, to prevent the growing of mold or the drying out of corks. We also prevent wines from being exposed to ultraviolet light, which can cause damage to sensitive vintages.
