Can I use a glass wine cellar door?

Yes, with insulated glass and a well-sealed frame.

Does the door swing in or out?

Usually out, so racking inside isn't lost to the swing.

What Makes a Good Wine Cellar Door?

It has to hold a cooled, humid room: an exterior-grade, insulated door with weatherstripping on all four sides, a threshold or sweep at the bottom, and insulated glass if there is glass. Looks come second to the seal.

St. Pete Custom Doors builds and installs hand-carved and custom wood doors in St. Petersburg, FL. Short answer: It has to hold a cooled, humid room: an exterior-grade, insulated door with weatherstripping on all four sides, a threshold or sweep at the bottom, and insulated glass if there is glass. Looks come second to the seal.

The Seal Comes First

Exterior-grade construction, even indoors
Weatherstripping on the head and both jambs
A threshold or automatic sweep
Insulated (dual-pane) glass

Then the Look

Carved panels, iron grilles and arched tops all work, as long as they don't break the seal. See wine cellar doors.
