Wood Types
The species of wood to be selected for use in a wine cellar is an important decision. Redwood and cherry offer higher resistance to decay due to humidity over other types of wood. They are also the least likely to warp. Note that Redwood sawdust is very caustic and special care is taken in handling and use. |

Design Criteria
The design of your wine cellar is a reflection of a number of criteria:
- is it a social room
- is it storage room for vintage collections
- how much time do you spend in the room
- do you purchase is small quatities or case lots
- do you store larger bottle sizes (eg champagne)
Each of these factors are critical in the design of your wine cellar so that it reflects your personal needs.
