I finally fulfilled a long-held dream.
The first step was insulating the room. I used XPS insulation mats: 6cm for the walls and 10cm for the ceiling. Next came the air conditioner, which keeps the temperature constant at 12 degrees Celsius. The installation was somewhat complex because the outdoor unit was mounted in a light well, requiring core drilling. I used cork tiles for the floor.
The cellar now mainly houses Bordeaux and Mosel Riesling. But there's also space for various wines from Italy, Spain, the New World, etc. I‘m so hyped.

Can you explain what went over the insulation mats on the walls?
