We now have a cellar. It's a twenty minute drive away, but it is temperature & humidity controlled and secure, and it will hold up to 30 dozen bottles. It's currently stocked with 12 dozen (plus a couple of magnums, normal, and half bottles that didn't fit in boxes). As you know, I'm looking for good candidate wines to be cellarmates with them during our tenancy.
It's an interesting place. Some of the cellars are obviously large walk-in things with shelves. The attendant said that some pharmaceutical companies use these units as storage for their after-hours reps. Mine is above floor level (need to wheel the steps out), and about 1 cubic metre. Apparently the big ones sell like hot cakes when they're vacated. Maybe I'll have one of my own when we do the next renovations...
The practical upshot from Joanna's point of view is that we also now have a laundry cupboard. This is particularly useful at the moment, because we need to separate our worldly goods into two sections (for storage or shipping), and the shipping stuff is destined for the laundry cupboard.
