We provide concept and consultation, wine cellar design, planning and expert installation THINGS NEEDED TO CREATE A COOL HOME WINE CELLAR Conventional wine cellars conjure images of dank underground dugouts. But in 2017, dusty and stale cellars are long gone. Once a feature of the uber-wealthy and their ostentatious mansions, cellars are popping up everywhere. No longer relegated to the basement, theyu2019re finding their way above ground in prolific numbers. Why? Because weu2019re a bunch of winos and domestic collections are popping up in homes on almost every street in the country. When your collection has outgrown boring wine racks, itu2019s time to consider a cellar. Want a masculine cellar? No worries. Weu2019ve rounded up the top ten qualities every manu2019s cellar should possess. Temperature Control The #1 most important aspect of a successful cellar is temperature control. Never skimp on this part, or think you donu2019t need it. If you truly value your collection, storing it appropriately is essential. An average of 12 degrees is the agreed ideal temperature for reds, while 7 degrees suits white vintages. Without proper temperature control, wines will become exposed to oxygen (a no-no for a perfectly aged vino) and mature prematurely. Tech Friendly A manu2019s cellar should come with all the bells and whistles. Weu2019re talking temperature and humidity control, futuristic lighting, wine fridges and maybe a big-screen TV. Donu2019t forget to install dimmer controls for evenings when your lady friend is visiting Materials Inject some masculinity into your wine u2018denu2019 with materials of the wood and stone varieties. For something a little more contemporary, opt for stainless steel. Not only does it look sleek and masculine, steel has the added benefit of being easy to clean and keeps germs at bay Always choose woods that resist rot and deal with cool, moist conditions. A natural, oil-based finish looks great when teamed with stainless steel or glass. Glass Thereu2019s nothing sadder than an unseen collection. After dropping all that coin to kit out a new cellar, get your moneyu2019s worth with glass doors to ensure the collection u2013 and the space u2013 is always on display. Floor to ceiling door are popular, with curved designs becoming more common Tasting Area The u2018tasting areau2019 doesnu2019t need to look as fancy as it sounds. An oak barrel surrounded by half a dozen stools will suffice. Oak Barrels A cellar without an oak barrel is an injustice. Use them creatively for a rustic, masculine ambiance.
