Have you ever wondered whether you\u2019re storing them properly? If not, but you\u2019d like to, here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Setting up a wine cellar at home is a lot of fun and consists of creating an appropriate physical space to conserve your wines under optimal conditions so you\u2019ll have just the right wine available any time you need one. Let\u2019s take it step by step.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>A Plan<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like any special project, it\u2019s best to start with a plan. You\u2019ll need to consider how many bottles you want to hold (we recommend at least 15) and what your budget is. Maybe you want to invest in a space that requires a home remodel, or you may just want to transform an existing space without having to spend a lot of much money.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>Invest more in red wines than whites<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you already have a plan to create your own wine cellar, you should keep that in mind every time you buy wine. There are bottles that you may not open right away, and they can go into the cellar. And to do that, you should know that red wines such as the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/marquesdecasaconcha.com\/en\/categories\/heritage-en\/\"><b>Marques de Casa Concha Heritage<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have a much greater cellaring potencial than white wines do. Also consider buying more than one bottle of a wine you particularly like, so you can compare the wine from one bottle to the next and see how it ages over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>Darkness<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a key element, because contact with direct light can accelerate the oxidation of the wine and negatively affect its organoleptic characteristics. You\u2019ll need to find or create a dark place with low artificial light that is only on when necessary. This can be a closet, a windowless bathroom, a space beneath that stairs, or a pantry, for example.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_25067\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25067\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-25067\" src=\"https:\/\/marquesdecasaconcha.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/cava-casera-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marquesdecasaconcha.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/cava-casera-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/marquesdecasaconcha.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/cava-casera-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/marquesdecasaconcha.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/cava-casera.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-25067\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ph: Sommi Wine Cellars<\/p><\/div>\n<h5><b>Temperature changes<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important that your cellar not experience abrupt changes in temperature so that the wine evolves in a controlled manner. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High temperatures make wines age much more quickly, so to protect a fine wine such as the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/marquesdecasaconcha.com\/en\/wines\/carmenere\/\"><b>Marques de Casa Concha Carmenere<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it\u2019s best to maintain your cellar at a constant 10\u00baC<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which you can monitor by installing a special <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alambique.com\/utensilios\/termometros-y-temporizadores\/termometro-digital-vino-cava-6231\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">thermometer for wine cellars<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>Dry, cool, and vibration free<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also advisable that your cellar maintain 70\u201380% humidity to prevent corks from drying out or labels from becoming too damp. If necessary, you can use a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">humidifier<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Store your bottles horizontally, with the wine in contact with the entire cork. The space should also be free of strong odors, so you may need to ventilate it from time to time. And don\u2019t forget that wine is a \u201cliving\u201d liquid that\u2019s susceptible to anything and everything that happens in its environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>Keep a Cellar Log<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, it\u2019s always a good idea to keep a record of everything in your cellar. You can start by entering the name, varieties, and vintages of your bottles (which also helps if a label is damaged), but you can also record your tasting notes and follow the evolution of a particular wine over time.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":25073,"template":"","class_list":["post-25089","blog","type-blog","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categorias_blog-noticia"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How to Set up a Home Wine Cellar - Marques de Casa Concha<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"If you\u2019re a wine lover, you surely have bottles saved at home.
