Creating Your Own Wine Cellar – new series on Downunderwines
Whether you’re a wine enthusiast or just enjoy having a few friends over for a little entertainment, creating a wine collection of your own can truly benefit your home for years to come. The best part about having a personal space for wine is that it is convenient for upcoming parties and is very simple to create once you have established the proper storage conditions.
Wineracks to store your wine
Before you know it, you’ll be enjoying delicious bottles of wine from the customised wine racks stored in your basement or decorative cabinet for your next elegant soiree!
In the US, companies such as Justwineracks have a huge selection of cabinets, from the small corner under your kitchen sink to the individually designed wine cellar – these guys fit you out. I hear that they are on their way to expand to Australia and parts of Europe, this might be a good time to think about storing your wine professionally.
Storing wine not only is about keeping a fully stocked collection ready for your friends and family but it also provides a great opportunity for properly ageing fine wines for the special occasions and events that come up in life from time to time. Gone are the days when our grandparents saved a few bottles of red for a rainy day, only to discover decades later that the storage facility under the family bed was not the right place to help their wine age gracefully.
Looking at wine collections in Australia, we stumble across an anomaly: only a very small percentage of Australia houses host a cellar. Very different to the houses in the US or Europe, Australians simply have too much space and therefore no need to build houses above cellars. This is why wine storage here Down Under has generated business opportunities for alternative ways to store: wine fridges and storage facilities in kitchens, pantries are a much liked solution, wine storage centres are very popular in the metropoles here in Australia and most wine clubs help you store your bottles for you.
Our new series will investigate how each of these three ways, cellar, wine fridge or wine storage centre works for you and might be compared in an international context.

In den seltensten Faellen sind australische Haeuser unterkellert, so dass der klassische Lagerort fuer Weine hier in Australien meist entfaellt. Darum haben sich jedoch in den vergangenen Jahren diverse Geschaeftsmodelle angesiedelt, die die Lagerung der feinen Weine anpreisen. Davon wird diese neue Serie hier auf Downunderwines berichten.
