Spiral Wine Cellar.
The spiral cellar system was developed by the French Georges Harnois, in 1977, who acknowledged that few modern houses had basements, but still, many people wanted a place to store their wine. Since, at the time, there were no options for wine storage other than basements, most wine collectors settled with keeping their wines in their garage. Unfortunately, the heat wave in France in the summer of 1976 ruined many vintages that were stored this way.Over time, Harnois developed the idea of drilling the floor of his home, built a spiral staircase and stored wine in a spiral with excellent results. Subsequently, he developed a system of modules and concrete measures. Thus, in the 1980s, the firm Spiral Wine Cellars was born in the UK and it currently builds its famous wine cellars worldwide.
