Traditional wine cellars invoke a sense of history and elegance. Their designs reflect the heritage that comes from centuries of wine cellar storage techniques.

The first wine cellars were caves intended to contain large clay vessels of wine and protect them from the harsh sun and changes in ambient temperature and humidity. The French were the first culture to dig caves and underground cellars specifically for wine storage, as early as the 1600’s.

Today when we talk about traditional wine cellar, people usually think about wooden materials, natural colors, and a sense of timelessness in the designs.
