You shouldn't make up so much. I never mentioned separate cellars for different types of wine. And for the record, the quoted comment was completely off the mark :-) Stick to the facts.

But what is that? A real wine cellar?
4 separate wine cellars then?
One for white, rosé, red and sparkling then...
Every wine requires its own approach.
And the base for me is my basement.
Before we had a refrigerator at home, all drinks were stored in the basement...

Fine, but I responded to this:


White wine from the cellar not 'cold' enough; put it in the refrigerator for a while.

If a bottle of white wine comes from a real wine cellar, it is 4-6 degrees. So it does not need to go in the fridge. Usually also room temperature.

Yes of course this is a very 'broad' statement.
But in a cellar you generally always have the same temperature.
Assuming the basement is not 'heated' or 'cooled'
And when the temperature rises (in summer) it usually never happens abruptly.
All wine (white, red, rosé, sparkling) at the same temperature.
And if you want to pour/drink it, take action depending on the type/kind.
Or do you think that all restaurants/brasseries/cafes have a real wine cellar; if they have a cellar at all...
Or do they have a separate cellar for each type...?
A white wine, whether it is full or not full of flavour, cheap or expensive: served/poured too warm will never taste/be good.
White and sparkling wines are generally drunk cooler than rosé and red.

I thought the wine had to be kept colder, but that turned out not to be correct.

White wine from the cellar not 'cold' enough; put it in the refrigerator for a while.
Red wine from the cellar too cool; bring it to room temperature.

buizer
You can't say that. It's a comparison with multiple unknowns. What is the temperature in the cellar? And what is the quality of the wine? Usually the cheaper, the lower the drinking temperature.

For example, red wine is often drunk too warm.

vertigo I'm fine with this because I don't have a 5c wine cellar. It doesn't really seem necessary (to me), from what I understand storing between 7-12c is fine.

Cools well, keep the cabinet inside at 12-14 degrees

wilfredb
Good temperature for drinking wine, but what do you do with your wines for storage?

[Edit]
(After all, a real wine cellar is about 5 degrees)

I use this one myself and am very satisfied with it.
Cools well, keeps the cabinet inside at 12-14 degrees, perfect.
There is a fan at the back that blows over a heatsink.
This fan makes a very soft humming sound but you can hear it.
I wouldn't put it in the living room, so I put it upstairs in our dressing room (we're lucky to have that luxury).

ademm Charles1971
In times when not every family/household had a refrigerator, freezer, etc., most houses had a cellar.
Where food was often stored.
This also applies to wine, but also beer, potatoes, fruit and vegetables.
But of course you can also use the cellar for other purposes.
Be a little creative, think practically.
How big is your basement?
How much space can and do you want to use?
A metal wine rack, for example (standing model) of e.g. 1.80 m x 1.00 m x 0.5 m; that can hold a lot of bottles...
Just looking around on the 'big net'.
And who drinks the wine? Does your wife drink some too...?
But the best method of storing wine is and remains a cellar...
And exposing wine to light isn't such a good idea either.
Are you going to hang a 'black curtain' in front of such a cupboard...?
And remember that a basement always has a cooler and (usually) constant temperature than other places in the house.
And that basement doesn't use any 'energy'...

My advice is ademm , just drink the wine you want to keep. When it's gone, just buy new ones, from your supplier. If he wants to buy such a climate cabinet, that's up to him. I wouldn't start myself, do you know how many bottles of wine you can buy for this?.

Dear fellow wine lovers,

I sometimes store some wine in the cellar. But my wife says it shouldn't be a wine cellar. So I can only store a few bottles there. A friend of mine recommended a wine climate cabinet, because my wife and I also like a cigar from time to time, we quickly found a humidor x wine climate cabinet . I found this one that they also deliver to my home, but yes, I was quite shocked by the price....

Do any of you have another cheaper option? I do want to be able to store everything long enough. But I'm not going to spend 4000 to 6000 euros to store a few bottles of wine.
:)

 Requests for a new field in this section can be reported in this topic.
Clearly explain the purpose and usefulness of such a new field.
Does not mean that this will be automatically honored.
We cannot provide a schedule for any adjustment.

  • Make the Content field manageable.
  • Enter the Subtype field. This allows the Type field to be filled in at a higher level (Red, White, Sparkling, etc.). With Subtype you can specify a further specification. For example as Variety "Sparkling" and as Subspecies "Cava" or "Champagne" or "Lambrusco" or etc..

At the moment I am trying to bring some order to the Wine section. The types of packaging has already been cleaned up quite a bit.

Now working on the Types. Does anyone know why the Subspecies disappeared back then? A division into Species and then Subspecies seems much more attractive and clear to me than the division into Species only at the moment.
Discussion about what exactly is a Species and what is a Subspecies of a different order, but may also be conducted. Especially towards the holidays :-)

Good evening,

Today I helped my parents-in-law move things to the storage because of an upcoming move.

In the cellar I found a 5 liter bottle of Château du Bousquet from 1981 under the dust and cobwebs.

My mother-in-law said that her father received it as a business gift in 1984 during a business dinner. The bottle has been in the basement since 1984 and she actually wanted to flush it down the sink.

I saved him, but my knowledge of wines stops when I read the label.

My question is, is this still of any value to a collector or is it worth nothing and was my mother-in-law right?

Who can help me with any information? Google is getting nowhere ...

Perhaps a reference to the forum rules is appropriate here. With emphasis on the section Catawiki forum and the Catawiki auctions

In the past, auction-related issues were sometimes raised here, but we don't do that anymore because these are often questions that must be answered by auctioneers and they just don't read this forum. This often led to discussions that have nothing to do with collecting and because, as mentioned before, this is a collectors forum, we have put a stop to that.

Which is what we do in this case as well.

So there is no forum about wine purchases on Catawiki?

And the topics you see here: https://forum.catawiki.nl/forums/423-wijn-algemeen? So it's all about collecting?

Maybe because this is irrelevant to most collectors. After all, this is a collectors forum.

Have a look for the word "excise" in the forum. For the rest apparently does not occur

Also search under tax on the forum, you will find a lot of information.
