Home Wine Cellar

When most people take their first sip of aged wine, the thought of wine cellars filled with loved bottles start to materialize in their house.  While most people don’t live in ideal conditions to age and store wine in, they can be created.  The ideal environment for wine is dark, cool but not cold, and slightly humid with a constant temperature.  Basements are perfect for this; the underground coolness needs little to no modification to be good for storing wine.

                A private wine collection is a great way to impress guests that deserve only the best.  All that is needed other than a basement is some wine racks or shelves and of course wine carriers filled with bottles of grape that that will age well.  Other tips for personal wine cellars would be to be aware of lights in the area and how much the temperature will fluctuate.  Light should be avoided and if an air conditioner or extra insulation is needed than it needs to be taken care of.  Aside from these little things, a home wine cellar is fairly easy to maintain and how large it is is limited only by budget.
