Designing a classy and attractive wine bar for your living room

Great veggie and fruit choices in season this January

Even if you don't live amongst the vineyards of Sonoma or in the Bordeaux Valley of France, you probably enjoy a glass of good wine - and chances are your friends do too. Whether you've got a wine collection already or are looking to start one, consider installing a wine bar in or adjacent to your living room. Then enjoy a glass yourself or invite friends and neighbors to a tasting.

There are a variety of décor options open to you, whether you'd like to find a vintage bistro mirror for the back of your bar or install a wall of wine racks. Perhaps you want an under-counter wine cooler, or if you're more of a connoisseur of pinot grigio than pinot noir, you might want a fridge-sized cooler for all your white wines.

One thing is certain, however - no matter your bar style, you'll want excellent custom cabinets. Cabinetry should serve a functional and aesthetic role in your wine bar, so you'll want cabinet design that gives you efficient storage and - for a Sonoma or Bordeaux theme - gorgeous wood-framed doors with intricate detailing.
