how big would a 1000 bottle wine cellar be?

[bleedingheart]

met a guy at the wine store that said he had one....this was in a very ritzy area so I wouldn't doubt it... but hell I can't imagine how big that might be???

1. I mean I guess it all depends how you set up the wine racks to hold

the bottles. It could be pretty compact.

3. i have no clue about that stuff...

i normally drink my wine quickly enough that storage is never an issue.....but that seems like a lot of bottles...

5. He probably collects them as well as drinks them

I would say that it would be the size of an average room

4. don't know the guy but he was very nice and gave me some

6. Will in really rough terms ...

Figure a six by six by 12 space for each bottle. That would a quarter of a cubic foot per bottle. One thousand bottles, would 250 cubic feet.
Double that so you can get around the bottles to get at them, so 500 cubic feet. Figure 6 feet of height (none right on the floor and none over 7 feet above the floor), that would mean just under 100 sq feet of floor space. After all the supposing and guessing about a space 10' by 10'.

Just a guess though ...
