wine cave
Underground bottle storage
A wine cave is an underground cellar or tunnel used for storing and aging wine, where natural cool temperatures and humidity help preserve the bottles.
Wine caves range from rustic hillside excavations to elaborate facilities at upscale vineyards.
The term gained political currency in 2019 when a presidential candidate was criticized for holding a fundraiser in one, making wine cave shorthand for elite donor events.
