Pros/ Cons?

It looks like a gimmick, but a cool gimmick.

I don't see the point. It's probably expensive and you can probably buy a cellar unit for less and take it with you when you move.

Buy a euro-cave. Those spirals are like $30K.

I don't need it but I want it.

Does anyone have a cave? I am interested in building a cave but cant seem to find any info. I want to build it at my cottage, into a hill. I want to store foods and wines in it. Any ideas?

SC is a fine option if you don't plan to move anywhere and aren't otherwise inclined to build out a cellar. Whether it ads value to the house commensurate with the cost is an unknown.

In-ground cellars function very well, provided that the humidity is controlled by appropriate insulation.

A much less expensive option (that you can also take the components with you when you move) is:
- sealing off a closet
- installing a WisperKool unit
- instlalling wine racks

You can get a great set up for about $2K - $2500 depending upon racking and the cooling unit and options you buy.

Cool, without a doubt, but I am not sure how effective it would be. It seams a bit cramped. The idea of a wineceller, at least to me, has always been a place where you could spend time, perhaps even with chairs and a table or something. This is more lile storage. Fancy storrage, for sure, but still storrage. It may be a good selution for the "city-boys" with limmited space. Kind of like those garages, that are hidden underground.
