Wine is a noble drink that requires a special relationship and special storage conditions. The exquisite taste and aroma of wine can be preserved and improved for a long time if you store it in a wine cellar. The wine cellar is not only a storage of wine, but also an original decorative element of a country house or apartment.

The construction of the cellar can begin in the early summer, when the soil has already warmed up. The place of construction of the wine cellar should be elevated, with a low level of groundwater.

For a wine cellar, you need to dug a pit 3 m deep, 2.5 m long and a width. The bottom of the cellar is laid with sand, crushed stone and broken brick. A concrete floor screed is made. The walls are strengthened with wire and reinforcement, poured with cement. Be sure to treat the walls with an antifungal agent.

It is very important to create intra-blade conditions, temperature 10-14 ° C, humidity 70-75%. Temperature drops can reduce the aroma of wine. The low humidity will lead to drying the cork and the penetration of air into the bottle, which entails the oxidation of the wine. High air humidity will lead to mold. Lighting should only be artificial.

Therefore, it is very important to make high-quality wiring and install a climate control system in a wine cellar. The walls of the wine cellar can be varied. For example, the walls are laid out with red brick, limestone stone or artificial decorative stone.

The door to the wine cellar is installed sealed from durable and reliable material. Inside the cellar, depending on the proposed design, racks with separate cells are installed. Shelves are made of wood or limestone.

The bottles are placed horizontally so that the cork is immersed in wine. Barrels are also stored in a lying position. In a wine cellar, you should not store other products, especially vegetables and fruits, since the wine absorbs extraneous smells well.
The quality and safety of wine is affected by the level of noise and vibration. Therefore, the wine cellar is built in the distance from roads and railway tracks. In a wine cellar, you can arrange a small tasting room where, in comfortable conditions, it is convenient to enjoy the fragrant notes of the divine drink.
