2. Building Your Dream Storage for Your Favorite Reds and Whites
Have your red and white wine been in storage for too long and need a refresh? Building your own wine cellar can be a great step to reviving them. Whether it’s the comfort of seeing an impressive array of wine year-round, or simply the convenience of having your favorite wines always on hand, creating your own cellar is always a good decision. Here’s what you should keep in mind to get started:
- Location: Where in your home will you make the cellar? Pick a spot that doesn’t have too much fluctuation in temperature, and make sure it’s not too humid.
- Space & Racking: Consider the amount of space you’ll have to store your wines. Adjust the number of wine bottles you’d like to stock based on your designated rack space.
- Insulation: Make sure to keep your bottles out of moisture and the right temperature. Invest in insulation materials to keep the cellar at the ideal temperature.
- Labeling & Logging: Understand the life span of each type of wine and label them accordingly. Use a spreadsheet to log each bottle into your inventory.
Creating your own cellar is a rewarding experience, as there is no better feeling than to have your favorite red and white wines accessible to you exactly when you need them. The process might take some time, but it is definitely an enjoyable experience that will bring you satisfaction for years to come.
3. Gather Your Supplies to Start Constructing
If you’re ready to start putting your project together, you must make sure you have all the supplies you need. Your choice of supplies will depend heavily on the kind of project you’re working on. For some larger projects, you may need special tools and applications like a saw, hammer, drill, paintbrush and more. But for the majority of crafts and DIY projects you’ll need:
- A wide variety of construction materials such as wood pieces, etc.
- The right adhesives, such as glue, screws, and nails
- Power tools to help you work more efficiently and quickly
- Protective gear such as safety glasses, gloves, and masks
- Design templates for guidance
Once you’ve gathered all the supplies that are needed for your project, it’s time to get down to business. Take some time to consult any plans and manuals you may have, and then begin working and assembling your project step by step. As you work, make sure you have a designated place and area for work, and use the necessary tools when and where instructed. Construct your vision, one piece at a time.
4. Enjoy a Sense of Pride with Every Bottle You Store
No two bottles of wine are identical, and no two wine collections should be either. For those who love to savor each special bottle they acquire over time, having them stored safely and securely in your own storage space is especially satisfying. It truly allows you to be in charge of every bottle, ensuring each one is safely tucked away until you’re ready to enjoy it.
At the same time, being responsible for your own wine collection can be a source of pride. You can take pride in knowing that you are taking proper care of bottles that have been crafted with exceptional care, and stored in optimal conditions for optimal results. With each bottle you add to your collection, you have the joy of knowing it is safe and well-protected.
- Create your own customized storage: Not just for protecting your wine bottles, but for expressing yourself and your tastes.
- Accurate temperature control: Maintain your bottles at the best temperature for quality and flavor.
- Humidity control: Keep humidity at optimal levels, protecting labels and cork.
Building your own wine rack is an attainable and rewarding task. You will have a sense of pride when looking at it knowing that you created it yourself. And now, when entertaining guests you can show off your unique design work — you did it yourself!
