Started to properly organize my cellar. Still work in progress but this is the Bordeaux side (reds). The cellar is not completely underground so needed a bit of help to stay between 10-16 degrees celcius (winter-summer). Installed aircon to help on the temperature control. Used an empty bottle filled with water and inserted temperature probe, so have a very representative view on the temperature of the bottles. Humidity is spot on with the gravel and storage system. Contemplating to have a little bar in the cellar. Perhaps other suggestions (practical or for fun) ?

    If you’re to improve anything in there, just more bottles maybe!

    Fun suggestion – donate some Bordeaux to me you’ll not drink them all anyway, just keep collecting and it will cost you to upgrade the cellar.

  3. Nice classical wine cellar! I always feel that cellars are too cool and clammy to hangout in, so I never understand the practical purpose of a bar or anything like that to sit and drink at.
