Off topic here. Sorry.
My house has three basements, all dating from the victorian era when the house was expanded twice.
The first cellar is the main cellar with chimneys/fernace, etc.
The last cellar is the old wood room and tool room.
But in the middle is what I beleive was an old Cannery? Is that the right word; a basement pantry? They are two large rooms under my kitchen with rows and rows of shelves for what looked like home preserved, pickled, and home canned misc things; basically a root cellar I suppose.
The outside walls are granite and the basement is fairly cool. The tree inner walls of the rooms are wood and brick.
Here is the question? If the room was suitable as a cannery, then can I make it into a wine cellar? Wine cellars are somewhat rare in Northern New England, and I am not sure. I rather not buy special equipments other than shelving; but I rather not waste time if the conditions are poor for wine.
Any suggestions?
