Question on Wine storage 23

Actually it's a high horse I absolutely agree with. Would love to have an underground cellar, just really not an option in this area(t least not unless you go at axtravagant cost, and even then, VERY likely to flood). Here in Oklahoma City area the "dirt" is all just red clay. so no drainage away from anything, and hideous to dig in. so you'd pay a huge amount to get it dug, and then have to deal with lack of any drainage.

I'm really just kind of thinking ahead here, for now, living in an apartment, I'm just goign to have to have wineracks out in the apartment. Deifnitely not optimal, but it's only option for now(don't have room in any of the closets to setup a little "cellar"). When I buy a house ~3 years from now though, hoping to take one bedroom with walk-in closet(which I may have to build, but easy enough to frame out and build something like that), and convert the closet into a small wine cellar with a breezaire or similar unit. Obviously, lots of research time in the next 3 years, for things such as particular unit, etc, jsut trying to get a more general idea of the basic ideas of wine storage.

I definitely agree that natural, preferably underground, would be the optimum. In hosue growing up, my bedroom was in the basement, and was always the most stable temperature wise throughout the year, so I've learned well that natural environment control can be the best, particularly when you factor in the savings.

Thanks for the input. Would have loved to see that cellar. Course, predates my birth by 10 years, and is on other side of the pond, but that's not the point. :)

Joel said, much the coolest and can control natural and this else
