Editorial Review:
Product Description:
Worried that your beloved Montrachet is coveting the 50-degree embrace of another's cellar? Think one of your own is out of reach? The classic naturally air-conditioned wine-cellar construction guide is now revised and updated for the modern wine collector who wants or needs a wine cellar but lacks the means to fund a massive renovation, or has do-it-yourself-ness in the blood.The book begins with how to plan for optimum humidity and temperature with a discussion on the best positioning (key to a passive system that takes advantage of an existing structure's natural cooling capabilities and keeping temperature fluctuation to a minimum) and insulation.Section two outlines, step-by-step and with detailed diagrams, every level and aspect of construction, including building of racks and storage bins.Section three is all about the art and science of selecting, recording, tracking and enjoying your wines at their peak performance.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Have not actually built one... but feel like I could after reading this
I ended up purchasing an electronic cellar, but after reading this book, felt I definitely could have built one from scratch. If you're a handyman, give it a try, the author seemed to know what he was doing.
Rating: - Practical advice found nowhere else
Dr. Gold's book was the best reference over a decade ago when I was looking for information on how to build a wine storage area in my basement. There was, and still is no other source of information that is as complete and current. His instructions are intelligent, exhaustive, and useful.
Rating: - The Wine Cellar Bible
With all due respects to Karen MacNeil this book could be titled The Wine Cellar Bible. Some might find it a bit over the top, but this book would help everyone that wants to build their own cellar.
Rating: - best wine cellar book I've seen
This is a top notch book on wine cellars that goes into wonderful detail about the building of a wine cellar and the value of building one. It is well written and a delight to read both from the standpoint of a wine connoisseur and from the point of view of an engineer building an optimal wine cellar. I think it is a must read for any owner or builder of a wine cellar.
Thank you Dr. Gold for an excellent book!
Rating: - A Must for Anyone Thinking of Cellering Wine
This is a really excellent book. Gold's practical advice based on his own actual projects and it really works. I used an earlier edition to build my cellar and it works superbly.
There are some real surprises... Gold emphasizes keeping uniform high humidity, saying this is more important that temperature fluctuations. But, if humidity is too high, the labels mould. He has a solution: a dry well dug into the floor insures that your humidity won't get too high in the spring. It's simple ... Read More
