Bloomberg Markets veteran wine and spirits writer, Elin McCoy, published an article last week titled “
Home wine cellars, no longer just for geeks, soar in popularity.”
It took me a minute to realize that the wine “cellars” in her article were what I would call wine storage cabinets, units, or even refrigerators.
But let’s not quibble about semantics.
The statement which floored me was this one:
"A 2005 Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers study found that 4.3 million households in America now have wine cellars, with more than 3 million purchased since 2003."
Wow! That’s a lot of households who cared enough about their wine to purchase a dedicated “appliance” to protect it. I suspect many will catch the wine collecting bug once they take this initial step. Hopefully, they will start reading this blog and managing their wine with our free VinCellar online cellar management software.
P.S. Please see my prior post "Wine cellars: Beauty over function” for comments on the custom cellar market.
