It need not be crazy expensive to start a wine cellar, you can easily do this under $ 500 including cheap wine rack.
Find first one room in your House that you can store your undisturbed wine. It need not be a large space, but ideally it would be best that the wine is stored in a dark room where the temperature is cool without a major temperature fluctuations.
Then determine what type of wines you'd like to include in your cellar. You know what you want but you might want to step into the box and buy some wines that will expand your tastes range.
Here is my suggestion: Get some bold, full wheel red (Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Zinfandel, Malbec) and medium-sized wheel red (Chianti, Pinot Noir) that can be cellared for a 2 or 3 years, perhaps longer. They will be cheaper now but they will age very well. Try to get up to 5 bottles which might cost $ 30 each = $ 150.00. Shop, ask questions, go to a few wine tastings (many of wine suppliers have free samples) you can some real bargains. Then I got about ten bottles priced around $ 20 each (5 red and 5 white) = $ 200.00. You may want to cellar some of these for a while (1 year or more), but these a good wine for a dinner party with friends who appreciate good wine. Remember to bring a dessert wine for one of your choice, which is also excellent for a dinner party. I stress again, shop around online and at local wine suppliers to hunt out the best deals. Wine is very popular and many of the major super markets have excellent wine selection with a further discount when you buy 6 bottles or more. last but not least is your everyday wines around $ 10 each, I got about ten bottles = $ 100.00. I usually drink more red wine than white, but you know that your settings, go with that.
Wine clubs are another way to stocking up on wines for your wine cellar and many of the wine clubs specialize in small-production wineries so you will get something that is not easy to find but high quality.
When you start a wine cellar and has some nice wines you will get some nice wine glasses that will enhance the bouquet of the wine. Ravenscroft wine glasses is made for lead-free crystal and safe will enhance your tasting experience.
So if you add the cost of the wine and the wine glasses that you will be close to the mark $ 500 depending on the type of bargain hunter, but also on the $ 500 will you end up with good quality 25 wine bottles and 4 nice wine glass.
Hold on a minute, I said this would also include inexpensive wine racks, now this is the best part. Wine delivered in wooden boxes with vineyards name in the search box around on some of the major wine suppliers or wholesale clubs and are looking for empty boxes. I ask and received these free of cost, it helps when you buy some wine. These make great wine storage rack, and you can't beat the price.
I live in St. Charles, MO and I have made wine in my basement for about 10 years. It's been a fun experience and I love to give bottles to friends. I could get my friend John start winemaking and he has just as much as I do. For 2 years since we became a hobby, internet business, and we started a http://www.twistedcorkscrew.com/ site which has been fun and successful. We felt we knew much about wine but we learn more every day. We have found some great and helpful people on the road and we have more fun than expected.
