wine caves
Subterranean barrel rooms
Wine caves are underground chambers used for storing and aging wine, where naturally cool temperatures and high humidity create ideal conditions.
Wineries sometimes use them for tastings and events.
The term gained political currency in 2019 when a fundraiser at a Napa Valley wine cave became a symbol of elite donor culture: No more billionaires in wine caves.
