What to Send for a Custom Wine Cabinet Quote
The drawings, dimensions and decisions that let a factory return accurate shop drawings and an itemised quotation for a custom wine cabinet within 48 hours.
A custom wine cabinet is quoted from information, not from a catalogue. The more complete your first brief, the faster you receive drawings you can approve, and the fewer revisions it takes to reach production.
At JIUFU we reply to every trade inquiry within 24 hours and return shop drawings with an itemised quotation within 48 hours of receiving a workable brief. This guide explains what a workable brief contains.
1. Drawings of the space
Send whatever you already have. We accept DWG, PDF, SKP, JPG and PNG files.
- Floor plan showing where the cabinet sits and which walls it touches
- Elevation of the wall, with ceiling height and any beams, bulkheads or sloped ceilings
- Site photos if the room already exists, ideally with a tape measure visible
- Joinery drawings if the cabinet must align with surrounding millwork
A hand sketch with dimensions is enough to start. Precise drawings simply shorten the revision cycle.
2. Overall dimensions
Give the maximum width, height and depth available, in millimetres. If the cabinet is recessed, tell us the niche size and whether the front should sit flush with the wall or the joinery.
Also tell us how the cabinet will reach the room. Lift size, stair turns and door openings decide whether a long wall must be built as separate modules.
3. Temperature zones
Our cabinets hold a set point between 1 °C and 22 °C, with stability of ±0.5 °C. Tell us how many independent zones you need and what each one will store, for example:
- red wine for cellaring
- white wine and champagne ready to serve
- spirits or display bottles that need no cooling
Each extra zone affects the internal layout and controls, so it belongs in the brief rather than in a later revision.
4. Doors, glass and finishes
- Number of doors and their opening direction
- Frame finish: for example copper, bronze, champagne gold or black
- Glass type and whether doors need locks
- Whether you will supply your own panels to match surrounding joinery
If you have a finish sample or a reference photo, include it.
5. Racking and display
Decide how bottles should be shown:
- Label-forward racking for display and service
- Horizontal or stacked racking for maximum capacity
- Feature niches for single bottles or magnums
- Stemware rails or drawers for cases
Tell us the bottle formats you store most. Champagne and magnum bottles need different spacing from standard Bordeaux bottles.
6. Lighting and noise
Specify lighting colour and where it should sit: shelf edges, vertical door strips or back panels. If the cabinet is in a dining room or bedroom, mention it. Our cabinets run below 40 dB, but placement of ventilation grilles still matters in quiet spaces.
7. Quantity and timeline
- Number of units and whether they are identical or all different
- Target installation date
- Delivery address, or at least the destination country, so we can match voltage and plugs to your market
What you receive
Within 48 hours you receive shop drawings and an itemised quotation for review. Photorealistic 3D renders are available as a paid option if you need them for client presentations.
