Your own wine cellar: grand or minimalistic? There will be wine!
There is a perfect wine for every dish, and just like that, there is a wine cellar for everyone’s budget. Creating your own wine cellar isn’t difficult, at all. No cellar? No problem! A wine room or a wine cabinet are worthy alternatives. Choose a good bottle of wine, pour yourself a glass and get inspired by the prettiest wine cellars, from grand to minimalistic, with or without Châteauneuf-du-Pape allure.
Dream big
Who doesn’t dream of a wine cellar that has everything it needs? Walled in storage boxes, hundreds of bottles and more than enough space to taste and enjoy the wine. Contact a professional to help you out and create the wine cellar of your dreams.
A pretty cellar is important, but so is the quality of the wine. If you keep these facts in mind, nothing can go wrong:
- The temperature. The ideal temperature is 8-12 °C, but more important is a constant temperature.
- The light. You should keep your cellar as dark as possible. Choose subtle lighting which you switch off whenever you can.
- The environment. Don’t keep chemical products, such as paint, near your wine collection. The cork can absorb the scents, which you want to avoid.
Tip: Store the wine horizontally. Put the white wines at the bottom and the red wines on top, because the lower you go, the colder it gets.
Magically minimalistic & subtle classy
Of course, not everyone needs or wants an impressive wine cellar (whether it’s about what’s in there or what it looks like). Small, minimalistic wine cellars can add value to your house as well. Subtle often even means classy. A wooden shelf suits every style, from rural to modern. Apple crates and pallets are great to store your wine. The finishing touch? A big barrel that can be used as a tasting table. Enjoy!
Tip: Don’t throw away your corks! They’re the perfect decoration for your cellar or living room. Put them in a vase or make it a DIY project!

What to do when you don’t have a cellar, but you do like wine? Wine rooms and wine cabinets to the rescue! Install a wine cabinet in your living room or, if possible, under the stairs. This way, you even use the space you thought you lost (and your visitors feel very welcome).
