Wine Cellars in Dallas TXDesigners and builders of wine cellars in Dallas, TX know the story all too well – how many of their North Texas clients started out as people who simply enjoyed drinking a glass of wine with dinner but who quickly morphed into people who needed customized, climate-controlled storage for 400 bottles of Pinot Noirs, Cabernets and Rieslings. Drinking wine, learning about wine and collecting wine can easily become an obsession, albeit a nice one, that can occupy a good portion of the wine lover’s waking thoughts. If you feel you’re becoming ‘that’ person who can’t stop talking about wine and who is falling in love with everything wine-related, there are some things you need to do before you take the plunge into the world of wine collecting:

✦ Learn About Wine

To be a good collector of anything, you must be knowledgeable. Learning about wine involves going to tastings to try new and different wines, talking to your wine merchant about the wines he sells, touring wineries to learn about the vintner’s art, becoming a voracious reader of wine books and magazines and much more. The more you learn, the better choices you’ll make when it comes to laying down cash for a case of wine.

✦ Set A Budget For Yourself

First of all, you don’t want to spend so much money on a wine collection that you can’t pay your electric bill. Set a monthly wine budget for yourself that is realistic. Before you even walk into your local wine merchant’s store, you must determine how many bottles of wine you want to buy for drinking now and how many to hold for drinking in a year or two or three. Wines you’re going to let age for drinking later are going to cost more and wines for drinking now generally cost less. Set a dollar limit per bottle that can range anywhere from $5 to $30, depending on what you like. A good, manageable collection should probably be no more than 240 bottles; but remember that since you’ll be drinking the wine, too, your collection will have to be replenished constantly.

✦ Build A Home For Your Collection

A bottle or two of wine can be stored in your refrigerator since you’re likely to drink it immediately. If you know you’re going to buy more than that, likely much more, then you’ll need proper storage to ensure that the wine tastes the way it’s supposed to taste no matter how long you store it. Custom wine rooms and wine cellars in Dallas, TX are the best solution to your wine storage problem. What can professionally-built wine cellars give you that a folding rack on top of your refrigerator can’t? It can give your wine the five things it needs most – cool, non-fluctuating temperatures, controlled humidity levels, low lighting, stable sideways orientation and minimal vibration.

If you’re hoarding cases of wine in your shoe closet, it’s time to give it the home it deserves with a custom wine room or wine cellar. For the finest wine rooms and wine cellars in Dallas, TX, call us a Vineyard Wine Cellars at (866) 615-4008 to make an appointment for a consultation.
