Purpose of a Wine Cellar

The purpose of a wine cellar is to store wine in a controlled
environment. Most choose to keep wine in cellars for investment
purposes, collecting rare bottles or certain vintages that require
proper cellaring over a long period of time. But anyone can create a
simple cellar, even if it is just a place to store your wine until the
next dinner party.
