I'm thinking of building a wine cellar. Should I do it?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Go for it...I love to make my own brew...not wine cellar stuff exactly but the whole idea is very cool.
These are life's pleasures. When you get the chance to indulge in something you really want to do, go for it! No question about it...do the research, see how much you can do straight off, see how you might expand in years to come...make sure you budget for the costs of materials like shelving and temperature regulation if needed.
Make sure you spend time doing some research..it will pay off in terms of investment and initial costs

M$AS far and the value of the home...that would depend on the buyer. I would rather have a nice entertainment and video area, before a wine cellar, but that's just me.

M$Thanks for the advice ritrzblok, I really appreciate it! Unfortunately, the space is a little too small for an entertainment area or rec room. Do you think many people would really dislike having a wine cellar? The last thing I'd want to do is scare a potential buyer away when I go to sell.

M$Yeah, that's the thing; I'm wondering what the next owner of the house would think. I have the space on one side of the room for 400 bottles or so. I figured I'd leave the other side of the room open in case I wanted to expand later. I'm assuming I'd also need some room for any climate control equipment.

Thanks kty2777. I have most of the rack layout figured out. It's the climate control stuff that I'm still researching. You're right -- it definitely pays to read up on everything before you start.
