You’ve probably seen this kind of thing on Luxuo, or other platforms dedicated to showcasing the very best in home design that people in cities like Helsinki get to enjoy thanks to their very many Euros. Look at this. It’s a cellar IN YOUR KITCHEN FLOOR. Keep looking at this. What if I told you could have this. What if I told you that you could pay a local company to do it. In Rand.

Obviously I don’t need to go very much into why you need a wine cellar. We’re all adults here, and I’d like to think that by virtue of the fact that you’re reading this, you already understand that a solid wine collection is both a status symbol, and incredibly delicious at lunch time, or at the end of a long day. Long story short, wine makes life better. It stands to reason that you would want to keep a lot of it, and therefore that you ought to keep it with the care it deserves, with the style you deserve.

A local company called Urban Cellars is installing these in the homes of better people all around you, right now. They “specialise in unique premium wine cellars and bespoke wine rooms. With a range of outstanding options for its discerning clients Urban Cellars has been leading the way in offering luxurious large-scale wine storage that fulfills not only a highly functional need, but also looks stunning.”

Definitely stunning.

Check that out. That’s called a “feature” piece, friends. “Sorry, sorry, hate to interrupt the conversation. Would you mind stepping off the recessed cellar trap door? We need another bottle of the cuvée.”

It goes without saying that aside from offering the ideal conditions for storage, wine cellars and wine rooms in the home also enable you, the owner to grow your collection over a span of decades. The bigger your collection, the greater the freedom to explore new grape varieties, regions and winemakers, and easy access to monitor the ageing process.
