How and Why to Build a Wine Cellar

The book begins with how to plan for optimum humidity and temperature with a discussion on the best positioning (key to a passive system that takes advantage of an existing structure's natural cooling capabilities and keeping temperature fluctuation to a minimum) and insulation. Section two outlines step-by-step and with detailed diagrams every level and aspect of construction including building of racks and storage bins. Section three is all about the art and science of selecting recording tracking and enjoying your wines at their peak performance.
