If you live in a house and have a basement , you have an
excellent opportunity of establishing a better environment for your wines than usually, as long as your bear the following rules in mind:
1.: If you expect your winecellar to hold up to say 400 bottles,
you should add an extra 20 % as a margin.
2.: Do not construct your winecellar near a central-heating
unit, or pipes nor another storage-room with chemicals,
paint, vegetables etc..
3.: If possible, you should construct your winecellar in the
manner, that its location is due North
4.: If you already have a suitable room in the basement, in
example measuring 2.5 x 3.0 meters, you should blindfold
the windows (if any) and depending on the thickness and
materials used for the outer and inner walls you should
consider further insulation, if in doubt.
