More Modern And Compact Wine Cellars

Refrigerated wine cabinets have taken over the original function of wine cellars for many people who simply can't create a genuine underground cellar of their own for whatever reason.

Because most people don't have a cave or even a basement room they might convert to a wine cellar, these refrigerators kept in the home now serve the purpose of storing wine, and often still bear the name of those original cellars. Yet many of them go far beyond mere storage these days and often serve as furniture.

Even in a regular kitchen setting, you find that many of these wine cellars fit right into the decor as furniture. They may have panels of the same wood as the cabinetry, making them look as though they are part of the broad design scheme of the kitchen.

Or they might match the surfaces of the larger appliances. But even the windows of these wine bottle refrigerators may add decorative elements, like frosted glass or sometimes even lattice work. They also don't necessarily just sit in a kitchen looking useful.

These modern, compact wine cellars still partially correspond to their namesakes in performing their basic function, which is to store ready to drink wine for many months at a time.

But they have also far outstripped those original underground rooms in adding to their repertoire the beauty and function of serving as actual furniture. These wine cellar refrigerators are not just storage and preservation areas any longer, but are often vital pieces in the decor of the home itself.
