The Service Cellar: practical on a daily basis
A service cellar is, as its name suggests, perfect for keeping wines at the ideal temperature for serving. It often takes up little space, so it will have its place in many kitchens and small apartments. You can store between 6 and 40 bottles there for the largest ones.
This type of cellar allows the temperature to be regulated to have bottles ready to be tasted, between 10°C and 18°C. Their price remains accessible, with models starting at €120.
They are perfect for bottles you want to drink right away or within 2 years. Beyond that, we recommend an aging cellar.
