If wine is “one of the most civilized things in the world,” as Ernest Hemingway had it, then having a home with a wine cellar must be one of the most civilized ways to live. For those who collect wine as a luxury asset class (see: Douglas Elliman|Knight Frank Wealth Report: Luxury Investments ), a wine cellar isn’t just an amenity—it’s a necessity. Whether you already own a collection to house or you are looking to build one bottle-by-bottle, these opulent properties with cellars and tasting rooms may be the perfect pairing.
