Wine Cellar
Before we proceed to discuss the values and beauty of a wine cellar, let us clear up a common misconception about the wine cellar. A wine cellar is not somebody who sells wine; that is a wine merchant or a vintner. In fact, a wine cellar is a cellar which is used exclusively for wine storage. Now that we have cleared up the wine cellar confusion for all the less than intelligent people, we can now wax lyrical about how wonderful a wine cellar can be and how we all want a house with a wine cellar.
My old piano teacher used to have a wine cellar in his home. He also smoked a pipe during lessons but that is not really important to the wine cellar story. When I first went to that wine cellar I was captivated, entranced and seduced by the extensive array of wine in the wine cellar. From that moment on, I wanted to live in a grand old home with a huge wine cellar. As it turns out, I currently live in an apartment but my wine cellar dreams are still alive.
Owning a wine cellar is very useful if you have invested in a large collection of fine wines. Old, rare or vintage wines can appreciate in value but only if they are kept in a wine cellar with the right conditions. Your wine cellar should always be dark and you should never allow anyone down into your wine cellar unless they too have a wine cellar and thus understand wine cellar etiquette. Guard your wine cellar carefully and ensure it has a security system to avoid wine cellar theft.
Some people are afraid of dark, dingy rooms and if you are one of those strange people, a wine cellar is not the place for you. If, on the other hand, you love wine and want to buy it and then sell it years later to some idiot who will pay way over the odds for it, a wine cellar is perfect. Your wine cellar can be a gold mine or you can just use your wine cellar to store wine you intend to drink. The choice is yours, my fellow wine cellar fan.
