How to keep your wine well when you are in an apartment?

All wine lovers and enthusiasts know very well that nothing beats a good bottle that has aged wonderfully. Moreover, very often the older a wine, the more expensive it is. All the more reason to keep your wine well. But what about people who live in apartments?

When the wine cellar fails you

Passionate and great consumer of wine for years, I am the city dweller par excellence. I live in an apartment in the city and one of the big drawbacks is that these places of residence very rarely house a natural wine cellar.

How to keep your wine well when you are in an apartment?

I therefore had great difficulty keeping my bottles of wine, which were often expensive, since as a cellar, I had no choice but to store my bottles on a cool shelf in a corner of my kitchen. . Otherwise, I have to drink them the day after I buy them. I proceeded like this until my very first wine tourism trip to a very famous wine region of France.

Having brought back many bottles in my luggage, I had to tinker with a homemade wine cellar. Knowing a little about the subject, I recovered a small fridge that my sister no longer used. I installed it at the back of my closet (without plugging it in), then after wrapping my wine bottles one by one with old newspapers (to protect them from light), I stored them horizontally in each compartment from the refrigerator.

The advantages of a real wine cellar

Over the months and years, my wine tourism excursions and wine fairs have multiplied and without even realizing it, I found myself with a very precious stock of vintage bottles.

My makeshift wine cellar could no longer contain all of my wines, the only alternative I had left was to buy a wine cabinet. This solution was my last resort, knowing that renting a real cellar was beyond my means. A little reluctantly, I am therefore going to buy my wine cellar on Caveavin.com. I don't regret my investment at all!

Having the same shape as a classic fridge, the wine cabinet has the advantage of being installed in any room of the house, sheltered from the sun. What's more, depending on everyone's needs, these appliances are available in different sizes and can both serve as a main or auxiliary wine cellar. The temperature is regulated and therefore no variation, the bottles are stored there lying down and ready to be tasted. Drink in moderation!
