Wine cellars are often perceived as being reserved for the wealthy, and conjure up images of elaborate wood and iron gates, refrigeration, and expensive bottles of wine from around the world. However, with a little determination and an old storage space, a respectable wine cellar can not only be added to your home, but have a sustainable and collected presence as well!
A little scavenging and research around town can net old wine barrels, shipping crates, and even corks that can be turned into stylish wall paneling, back splashes, and tables. Throw in a few barstools and perhaps a mini-refrigerator or two and you’re ready to start collecting. Gifts, carefully selected prize wines and even grocery store finds can create a fun and eclectic collection, but if you’re looking for something a little more adventurous, check out this article on organic wines. You just might find something new for your cellar, without the headache!
