Wine Barrel Flooring!



Wine Barrel Flooring! I found this great site yesterday of a company who makes flooring from reclaimed wine barrels which are 6-50 years old. What an interesting item to have within your home! Upon reading I found they are suitable for any flat surface and are tongue & groove connected. The site I stumbled on is Wine Cellar Specialists

Phone: (972) 454-0480
Fax: (866) 788-5185
Email: info@winecellarspec.com
Address: Richardson, TX 75082

Working with homeowners and businesses across the United States and Canada. Contact them and let them know your needs for a wine cellar, rack, cooling system or floor or table top made from wine barrels. Gee....I wonder if the wood has any of the wonderful smell of the wines left behind? Of course once layed and sealed you would not smell it but I just wonder.

WINE CELLARS


Vintage Cellars was featured in Wine Spectator November 30th issue. The above YouTube videos are some of their speciality work. Oh to have my very own wine cellar with a tasting table of marble! I would spend many times entertaining there rather than my kitchen or living room. A wine cellar is very important if indeed you have a large collection of wines. In order to keep wines fresh they need to be stored on their sides as to keep the cork moist so not to dry it out and cause deterioration and allow air to slip in and goodness to slip away. The end result over time will be a bad tasting bottle of one of your favorites. Plus wines need to be kept at just the right temperature which can be tricky. So take a tour of the work of Vintage Wine Cellars at the above YouTube collection of theirs. Then go to their site and dream a little dream!
