Fitting a traditional AC along with the automatic cellar conditioner
Instead of AC, you need cellar equipped with conditioner that controls the temperature and humidity levels for storing the delectable alcohol. Modern cellars themselves come with automatic temperature and humidity controlled features which help the wine bottles to preserve their rich flavor and keep them in good condition, so you do not need traditional ACs separately. The specific climatic conditions in the spiral cellars required are 14 degree Celsius, more or less one degree, with humidity lying in between 65% and 75%. The cellar conditioner preserves the low temperature as well as keeps the humidity in control to keep the bottles in good condition. You should always remember temperature fluctuations are detrimental for the alcoholic beverages therefore traditional ACs won’t do. Instead opt for the refrigerated cellars.

Direct sunlight is most awful and can result any wine to deteriorate particularly the white ones with rich flavor and aroma.
Not keeping the collection methodically at the racks
It has been seen the wine connoisseurs keeping the entire collection simultaneously in the spiral cellars and not filling the cellar step by step and this is a huge mistake. Moreover, they also fail to compartmentalize one area for everyday wines and a different one for showpiece bottles or those meant for special occasions.
Choosing a bad quality cellar door
The cellar door requires to be theoretically right and made up of appropriate substance to offer an air tight seal and good insulation. This will keep the entire collection of bottles in good condition at the racks and cabinets.

Wine cabinets and racks should be chosen on the basis of case sizes, the amount of wine you consume, and a number of other factors. You should look for a combination of appearance, ease, space optimization and funds while investing on the wine racks and cabinets.
