The First Wine Cellars

The Romans were some of the first people to understand the benefit of keeping their wine underground in cellars. It was a natural way to keep the wine cool and keep it from spoiling. That is why so many wineries still store their products in casks and bottles underground in caverns and caves. It keeps the wine fresh longer, helps it age, and is the best environment for fine wines.
