Mini Wine

When you are passionate about wine you begin collecting ... and when you begin collecting it you need a place to store it.

A firm can be easily transformed into a mini wine cellar to store your wine collection of more and more.

Before building your wine cellar into account the position of the firm relative to the rest of the house.

Avoid converting a closet against an outside wall into a wine cellar. The exterior walls of your house or apartment may be subject to large fluctuations in temperature. Choose a toilet house where your wine can be stored in an atmosphere more stable.

The degree and speed of temperature change are critical to successfully storing and aging wine. A gradual change of a few degrees between summer and winter will not matter. The same change each day will harm your wines in their aging too fast.

The most important rule when storing wine is to avoid temperature changes or fluctuations. You'll notice damage of this nature immediately sticky deposit that often forms around the capsule. Over time the continual expansion and contraction of wine affect the integrity of the cap. It's like having the cork pulled in and out again every day. When this happens, minute quantities of wine can be pushed along the edge of the cork (between the cork and the bottle neck) allowing air to seep back in. Once air is in contact with your wine the irreversible process of oxidation begins and your wine is ruined.

At 55 º to 58 º F the wine will age well, allowing him to develop fully. Higher temperatures will age wine more rapidly and cooler temperatures slow the aging process. Irreversible damage will be done if your wine is maintained at a temperature above 82 º F, even for a month.

The hardest part of converting a closet in a cellar can be finding other places to store the original contents of the closet! Show no mercy ... sell / give / move all the contents present and start with a blank slate!

Buy bottles of cheap wine in a hardware store, an online retailer or storage shop and you'll have a mini wine cellar simple but very effective wine.

Wine rack designs vary in bottle density; The price changes are more to do with the aesthetics of efficiency.

Individual racking is the most convenient for selecting bottles. If you have media against one wall of the cabinet, you can still floor or a shelf for wines that you buy by the case.
