Acceptable, but overall disappointing January 9, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

This book does not live up to expectations. Found that many of the photos are poor quality/amateur in nature. Some cellars displayed are spectacular but many are ho-hum. Nor does the book have any substantive material. Simple text descriptions accompany photos but only so much can be learned by looking at pictures. I agree with other reviews that this is a good coffee table or "idea" book. However, I expected more interesting photos with meaningful descriptions of the space, conditions, materials, lighting, etc... If you have to have it buy it used.

A much better book is: The Home Wine Cellar: A Complete Guide To Design And Construction by Perry Sims. While it doesn't have as many photos, those it does have are more inspiring and accompanied by good information on cellar design and construction.

Beautiful pictures, it gives you plenty of things to talk about and think about if you are planning a wine cellar. This book does not give a lot of details on why things are done the way they are - it is more of an idea book. I've read a few other books on the details of wine cellar construction, so I already knew why things are done as they are in many of the pictures.

This book gave me tons of ideas and helped me spark my creative juices.
