There are many factors that affect the depth of the cellar, such as:
In the environment, if the temperature is high all the year round, or the temperature difference between day and night is large, then the depth of the wine cellar is deeper.
Geological composition, it is necessary to know the geological composition of the environment where the cellar is located, because some soils have good heat insulation effect, but if the soil is mainly sand and gravel, it is very unfriendly to the stability of temperature, and it is necessary to increase the depth of the cellar.
The depth of the wine cellar is also closely related to the scale of your wine storage, and the increase of the depth of the wine cellar is directly proportional to your wine storage capacity. In fact, it is not so much the storage capacity as the size of the wine cellar, because the larger the area of the wine cellar, the greater the depth it needs.

Problems needing attention in the design of underground wine cellar
1, constant temperature and humidity
No matter what type of wine cellar, constant temperature is very important. The temperature in the wine cellar is about 8- 18 degrees Celsius. If it can be kept at 10 to 12 degrees Celsius, it is an ideal state. Below 8 degrees Celsius, wine will go into dormancy, which greatly weakens its ripening process. Above 20 degrees Celsius, the wine will ripen quickly and lose its beautiful color, fresh taste and rich aroma in a short time.
Humidity is also very important in the design of wine cellar. Too wet will lead to mildew of wine cork, too dry will shrink. The ideal wine cellar humidity should be between 75% and 80%. If the humidity is too high, the trademark of the wine will rot and fall off, and the wine stopper will be moldy and deteriorated. Too low humidity is more harmful, which will make the wine plug dry and crack, lead to air entering the wine, and lead to deterioration and corruption of the wine.
2. Air circulation
An important factor in preserving wine is ventilation. Generally speaking, the underground wine cellar is equipped with two exhaust fans. If the north and south of the wine cellar are transparent, then the exhaust fans should be installed on the north wall (as low as possible) and the south wall (as high as possible), so that hot air is exhausted from the south wall and cold air enters from the north wall.
Note that strong-smelling items such as detergent, pickles, stinky tofu and cheese cannot be brought into the wine cellar.
3, moistureproof
The wine cellar is located underground, and it will be wet underground, so be prepared for moisture prevention. The materials used in the walls and ceilings of wine cellars should be moisture-proof. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the demand for odorless materials. Log materials are usually used.
4. Lighting equipment
Lighting in wine cellar should be functional and decorative. First of all, it can provide enough light to see the label of wine clearly. Second, wine tasting pays attention to the atmosphere, and good lighting decoration can achieve this effect very well.
But be careful not to expose your wine to high temperature and ultraviolet light. It is suggested that the lamp should be equipped with regulator and switch timer. Through the regulator, the lamp can be adjusted to the required state as needed, and the switch timer can prevent the lamp from being on all the time unintentionally.
