A good wine cellar will protect the wine from these influences and allow it to age and develop as it should
August 23,2011
Once you’ve decided on having a wine cellar and begun to buy your wines, you’ll need a place to store them. The word ‘cellar’ always brings to mind a basement of sorts, but for wine that’s not a necessity. What you need is a place where your wines can be kept safely and well. Cellaring is important to the ageing of good wines: many environmental factors can affect them, like heat, cold, humidity, sunlight – or even odours like fumes from a central heating boiler.
A good cellar will protect the wine from these influences and allow it to age and develop as it should. If you should possess a cellar, it will almost certainly need to be adapted for storing wine. The walls should be lined to ensure that dampness is kept at bay and to help stabilise the temperature; if there is no provision for ventilation it should be provided, or a window that provides too much should be closed off. Strengthening the door and providing it with a strong lock is a good idea, as a cellar full of wine is an increasingly valuable asset. The most important element is the temperature: 11 degrees centigrade is ideal. Try to keep the humidity, which you can measure with a hygrometer, at around 75%. If it’s too dry, a bowl of water filled with charcoal will raise the humidity, if it’s too damp silica gel will bring it down. If you don’t possess an actual cellar you can either buy a ready-made cellaring unit which holds from 50 – 500 bottles, or you can build your own in a corner of a storage area. The important thing is to bear in mind the environmental influences that affect wine and ensure that your storage area will protect your wine from them.
Once you have your storage area you’ll need to think about the racks that hold the wine. You can buy wire wine racks that stack, which are economical and easy to fix. Their drawback is that they are wasteful on space, and no matter how big your cellar it will certainly seem too small in a year or two. The most efficient way to store the wine bottles is stacked one on top of one another. To do this you need to make divisions that will hold multiples of 12 – say 24, 36, or 48. Stacking the bottles two deep on their sides will still allow you access while saving space. The wines that will be ready for drinking the soonest you stack at the front, those with ageing still to complete, at the back.
Apart from the basic storage facilities there are other refinements that a good cellar needs: a maximum/minimum thermometer to check the stability of the temperature, a hygrometer to keep a check on the humidity and a cellar book. The cellar book is your record of last resort: it’s here that you record the date and cost of each purchase, when it’s projected maturity is, and of course your tasting notes.
