23 Jul THE WINE CELLAR EXODUS: HOW CELLARS ARE MOVING FROM THE BASEMENT
The way wine is stored is gradually changing. A transition is happening that every wine zealot must pay close attention to. When we say wine zealot, we mean everyone who has to stock up wine in a cellar for one reason or the other, be it for personal or commercial purposes.
If you use a wine cellar, then you ought to join the movement from the basement to the place where it’s all going to be.
THE BASEMENT PHASE IS ALMOST OVER
There was a time when having a traditional ‘down in the basement cellar’ was the way to go. Then, you cellar was like a vault where you kept your priced bottles of wine safe. Then, it was all about keeping the wine safe, and within acceptable temperature thresholds.
THE EXODUS INSPIRATION
The twenty-first century brought an ideology of minimalism and aesthetics. Wine storage began to move toward more appealingly outlook and showmanship while maintaining and improving on functionality. The ideology of aesthetics brought in the place of visibility and display.
For that to be possible, there had to be a change of cellar positioning, from the basement to a place where it could be seen, admired and rightly worshipped.
THE SOLUTION: THE MODERN CELLAR
The modern cellar was the answer to this need. It brought the needed minimalism and aesthetic features needed for the exodus. The modern cellar is built with materials that keep to functionality while emphasizing beauty. The materials used are mainly plane glass, stainless steel, and acrylic. This is what offers the minimalism and beauty that the modern cellar offers.
WHAT MAKES A MODERN CELLAR
A modern cellar differs from a traditional cellar in a number of ways:
Aesthetics
The beauty that the modern cellar brings to your home is nothing short of paradise. It blends perfectly into your sitting room or bar, and adds an exquisite touch to your space. Wherever you place it, it brings in a great deal of beauty into the space.
Visibility
There is something about the visibility that the cellar brings. Just imagine all your wine bottles sitting in the open space, visible to the eyes. All your beautiful labels and brands adding their beauty and glory to your living space.
The transparent glass gives that perfect view for all to see, showing off your sophistication.
Versatility
The modern cellar offers visibility which the traditional cellar doesn’t. It can accommodate bottles of different shapes and of different sizes. The weight of the bottle doesn’t really matter. The modern cellar is built with materials that make it capable of holding up varying weights in bottles.
THE FUTURE
The future of wine storage is almost out of the basement. It’s now in the open places; where everyone can see, and where it adds to the beauty of its residence. This is where the future of wine storage is, out in the open, in the modern cellar.
