One is the bottles, which need to be packed upright or on their sides in sturdy cartons and kept steady. The other is the cellar itself: the racks, shelves and cooling unit that hold the bottles and may be built in. Customers often think only of the first, and the estimator will ask about both. ## At a glance - Bottles packed by the case - Racks and shelving removed and reset - Wine coolers and cabinets moved - Storage in Sparks between homes ## Bottles first A good move starts with a bottle count and an idea of value. Everyday wines go in standard wine cartons. Older or more valuable bottles can be wrapped individually and kept in smaller cartons that are easy to lift. Labels are kept clean and dry. Ask the estimator what protection fits the bottles you own. ## Heat is the main risk Wine is damaged more by temperature swings than by bumps. Northern Nevada has hot summer afternoons and freezing winter nights, so the timing of the move and the time bottles spend in a truck are worth talking over. The estimator can suggest the time of day and the order of loading. A large collection may be better moved on a cooler day or kept for the last stop of the load. Any customer who owns a high-value collection may want to talk with a specialist wine carrier or storage provider about long holds. Ask the office if you are unsure whether your plan fits. ## Racks, shelves and wine coolers Wooden racks come apart and go back together. Built-in cellars need a plan for what stays with the house and what comes along. Freestanding wine coolers should be emptied, unplugged and left upright for the move, and many manufacturers advise waiting before plugging them in again; check your manual. List these items at the estimate. - Count of bottles and cases - Rack type: modular, freestanding or built in - Coolers and cabinets to be moved - Stairs, steps and the route to the truck ## Part of a larger move Wine is usually one line in a bigger estimate. Packing is covered on the [packing page](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/packing/), and heavy items such as [appliances](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/specialty-moving/appliances/) and [pianos](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/specialty-moving/pianos/) have their own notes. The full list lives on the [specialty moving hub](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/specialty-moving/). Because O'Brien's prices long-distance moves by weight, a cellar adds real pounds, so mention it early on those moves. ### Sources (checked October 18, 2026) - [eCFR, 49 CFR Part 375 (household goods transportation)](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/subtitle-B/chapter-III/subchapter-B/part-375) - [FMCSA, Protect Your Move](https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/protect-your-move) ### Free in-home estimate - An O'Brien's estimator walks through your home - A written, itemized estimate - 10 free heavy-duty boxes, yours to keep [How our estimates work](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/how-our-estimates-work/) ### Visit or call the office 2277 Glendale Ave, Sparks, NV 89431 [775-359-6683](tel:+17753596683) | Monday to Friday | 8:00 am to 5:00 pm | | --- | --- | | Saturday and Sunday | Closed | [Get my free estimate](#estimate) ### Related - [Specialty item moving](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/specialty-moving/) - [Professional packing services](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/packing/) - [Custom crating for art, glass, antiques and machinery](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/packing/custom-crating/) - [Household appliance moving](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/specialty-moving/appliances/) Moving and storage services ## More services - [### Household appliance moving O'Brien's moves refrigerators, washers, dryers, ranges and other household appliances as part of a move or on their own.](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/specialty-moving/appliances/) - [### Auto transport with your move O'Brien's arranges auto transport along with your household move, so the car is on the same estimate as the furniture.](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/specialty-moving/auto-transport/) - [### Piano and organ moving O'Brien's, family owned since 1941, moves pianos and organs for Reno and Sparks families, with a free in-home estimate that lists exactly what is being moved.](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/specialty-moving/pianos/) - [### Pool table moving O'Brien's moves pool tables as part of a local move or on their own, and the written estimate spells out what is included.](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/specialty-moving/pool-tables/) - [### Hot tub moving O'Brien's moves hot tubs for homeowners in Reno, Sparks, Carson City and Lake Tahoe, and the estimator reviews both addresses first.](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/specialty-moving/hot-tubs/) - [### Fine art and antique moving O'Brien's wraps, pads and crates fine art and antiques, then delivers and sets them in place at the new address.](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/specialty-moving/fine-art-and-antiques/) Answers ## Wine cellar moving questions Still have a question?

August 4, 2023 Talk about organized people. I peeked in the truck about an hour into the job and was amazed at how well organized it was and how many of my things had protective coverings. Our bed is a mechanical one and a nightmare to us, but these guys had no issue with it at all. Although I have no desire to ever move again--but if I did, I would be calling these guys for sure!!!
