Wine cellars are associated with tradition and class. Winemakers carefully follow time-honored traditions to produce a great-tasting product that is highly desirable. Once the consumer brings a bottle home, they follow traditions to ensure the wine tastes excellent once uncorked; storing the bottle in a specific environment, decanting the wine, serving the wine in wine glasses, and pairing the wine with a special meal. Wine collectors also take the time to learn more about the wine in their collection. From winemaker to the consumer, with so many traditions, it's no wonder that we associate everything around keeping wine with prestige.

Having the time to travel and collect wine, learn more about the different flavors and aromas, plus the time spent curating a collection, are all activities people dream about doing.
