Below, you’ll learn some of the advantages of storing your wine in a cellar. As well, you’ll learn what you can do if you’re unable to create a wine cellar in your home.
A Controlled Environment
Cellars are the perfect place to put your wine because they’re a controlled environment. This is particularly important for corks, which can be sensitive to the humidity. If the environment where you’re storing wine isn’t adequately maintained, it becomes much more likely that the cork cracks, contaminating the wine.
Controlled environments are also important for the wine itself. Especially in a hot area like Florida, you want to make sure the wine isn’t exposed to regular changes in temperature. This can actually cause the wine to cook, leading to an unappealing smell and taste.
Storing wine in a cellar also makes it easier to keep out the sunlight, which can have a deleterious effect on your wine.
Bulk Purchases
Wine Folly says, “Wine lovers buy bottles of wine. Wine fanatics buy cases.” We couldn’t agree more. First, you can save 10-20% on your total purchase, which is a hard deal to pass up. But even if you’re not enticed by the savings that bulk purchases can offer, there’s an undeniable joy that comes from getting a case of wine.
In some situations, you may want to choose each of the wines you’re getting. The case allows you to get a fuller spread of choices designed to satisfy a myriad of different palates. You may also choose to have a trusted wine vendor put together a box for you. This allows for enjoyable surprises that last for years to come.
What If You Can’t Store Wine In Your Wine Cellar?
Of course, there are a number of reasons why you may not be able to store your wine in a cellar. Maybe you’ve run out of room in the cellar you have, or maybe your home doesn’t have enough room to start a cellar in the first place.
In this situation, you’ll want to look for a wine storeroom that you trust.
