Why do we use wood in wine cellars?

Traditional wine cellars are build using wood. One of the reasons of choosing wood is because the aesthetics. Wood has a cozy warm feeling for your wine cellar. Wood looks elegant and it is a classic for building a solid wine cellar. We have different choices for wood: Mahogany, black walnut, and white oak.

Mahogany

Besides Mahogany’s beautiful presentation. Mahogany is durable, the color is amazing and resists the cold temperatures that your wine cellar needs to have.

Mahogany is synonymous of luxury since English furniture makers Chippendale, Hepplewhite, and Sheraton from the late 1700s. There are many pieces in perfect condition in our time. You can appreciate how durable this wood is. Mahogany provides a tight grain that readily accepts any finish.

Black Walnut

The United States Black Walnut (Juglans nigra) is a unique species of hardwood. It is characterized by having a rich brown lustrous heartwood with a grain pattern that categorizes itself in between graining woods like oak and uniform textured woods such maple and poplar. One of its assets is a natural resistance to decay and insects.

The best places to find walnut are in Ohio and Iowa. These estates have rich, deep, moist soils.
