California Modern Wine Cellars – Why Opt for One
Contents
When we think of wine cellars, what usually comes to our minds are dark, cold, damp, old, stark and cobwebby places where people keep dusty bottles of wine. It is usually located in the least populated areas of the home or the least used space. More often than not, it is located in a basement or an outhouse.
Wine collecting and storage have come a long way and have evolved leaps and bounds. Wine collectors put time, creativity, and money into building California modern wine cellars.
Modern homes these days are also in abundance, as many owners work hand in hand with architects and interior designers. More and more homeowners prefer their homes to reflect their personalities and passions, which can include wine collecting and storage.
Modern Wine Cellar Features
Modern wine cellars are usually incorporated into the modern home where space is available. Some modern homes place their wine cellars under the stairs, under the kitchen island, in small available closets or rooms, or in free space between rooms or garages.
More often than not, modern wine cellars are constructed with custom wine racks made from wood, steel, glass, or a combination of these materials. Some wine rack systems are designed to look like the bottles are floating on air.
For a dramatic effect, fancy lights are placed in strategic spots that illuminate the wine bottles, thus easily catching the guests’ attention while emitting a minimal amount of heat.
Why Choose a Modern Wine Cellar
Wine owners and enthusiasts have varied reasons for opting for a modern wine cellar. Modern wine cellars are made of modern materials that are easily found commercially. If and when repairs are needed, the owner will not have a difficult time looking for replacement parts.
They have their own stories to tell and can add character to a modern home. Owners can showcase their passion for wines using the latest materials and technology available.
Many wine collectors are relatively young, which can somehow explain the preference for a modern style. Modern wine cellars seem easier to maintain than classic ones. It is also easier to mix and match the materials available on the market.
A modern custom wine cellar design will also reflect the youthful personalities of the owner. Quirky wine collectors may opt for designs which have an entrance in unlikely spots.
I’ve seen a wine cellar that has circular entrance to the wine collection resembling a trapdoor. The owner has his collection on the walls near a staircase, making the area housing for the wines and a form of a design statement.
A modern wine cellar adds value to a house, creating a higher resale value in the future. This is usually valuable, especially if your home is located near a wine region or you live in a locale where wine and anything wine related has value.
Whatever your reason may be, choosing a modern style wine cellar is always a good choice, especially if it brings you happiness and contentment as your dreams are realized and as long as other important aspects of your life are not sacrificed.
