Once it’s completed, which takes only five days from start to finish, it will offer exactly the right conditions for keeping wine – the correct temperature, darkness and humidity. There are different sizes of cellar too, from the Mini Cellar, which can store up to 770 bottles, to the larger Spiral Cellar which will store 1600 bottles.
