• 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,
  theyre finding their way above ground in
  prolific numbers. Why? Because were a bunch of
  winos and domestic collections are popping up in
  homes on almost every street in the country.

• Temperature Control
• The 1 most important aspect of a successful
  cellar is temperature control. Never skimp on
  this part, or think you dont 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 mans cellar should come with all the bells and
  whistles. Were talking temperature and humidity
  control, futuristic lighting, wine fridges and
  maybe a big-screen TV. Dont forget to install
  dimmer controls for evenings when your lady
  friend is visiting.

• Materials
• Inject some masculinity into your wine den 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
• Theres nothing sadder than an unseen collection.
  After dropping all that coin to kit out a new
  cellar, get your moneys worth with glass doors
  to ensure the collection and the space is
  always on display. Floor to ceiling door are
  popular, with curved designs becoming more
  common.

• Tasting Area
• The tasting area doesnt 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.

• Lighting
• Lighting is key to a functional and sexy cellar.
  Highlight prized wines with a combination of
  traditional, track and LED lighting. For
  traditional lighting, be sure to buy bulbs with
  UV protective coating. Halogen set-ups need to be
  frosted and tempered to avoid over-heating.
  Really impress your guests with LED lighting.
  Take inspiration from the Fine Wine Shrine in
  Tennessee. Wed worship at the shrine of these
  lights any day.

• Spiral Cellar
• As you descend a spiral cellar, youll be
  forgiven for assuming the identity of James Bond,
  Batman and every awesome crime-fighting dude
  rolled in to one. These built-in cellars are
  expensive, but so worth it. Smart engineering and
  built-in ventilation keeps humidity at bay while
  keeps bottles at the ideal temperature regardless
  of the weathermans predictions.
