Are you interested in maximizing storage, or is this primarily for display? Is the room going to be a tasting room as well? and how far is that window frame from the back wall?

Some suggestions for your wine room

I think we need more info. How many bottles of wine ? IMO you need some kind of temp. controlled storage and then some display . Have no idea of your style but this would be a good choice IMO So you have wine coolers and an interesting way to display some too. Check out MR. Brown wine display.

I don't know if you can have full built-in cooled storage in 17" of depth, so you might want to think about doing part of the wall horizontal, as Patricia shows, or putting glassware storage toward the window. It takes a lot of wine to fill coolers or bins on a whole wall, which is part of why I was asking what you wanted. A serious collector would usually want a whole climate-controlled space, and a casual enthusiast would usually have only a couple dozen bottles, so the right solution depends on a lot of things we can't really know.

Thanks, this is helpful. The glass block window is decorative only and adjoins another room. It sounds like we may need to find a work around or likely need to remove it entirely. I’m thinking I’ll want unit/ display/storage space enclosed with a small cooling unit.

What a fun project, we are huge advocates of thoughtfulwine storage solutions. It sounds like you might also want space for a tasting area, so adding a case of some type would probably be your best option. Then you could add seating and a table or two. This case is huge, but the same basic design could be used in your smaller space. Not only does it add actual wine storage, but it is a stunning focal point.
