I don't know about you, but every time I buy a bottle of wine, I wonder where I will store it. I have a modest wine storage unit, and I often think back to the day when I stepped into a house for sale and saw a large wine cellar, protected by a gorgeous wrought iron door. To have such storage -- that would be divine.
I imagine if you have $30K to burn, you're probably not worrying about wine storage, but for the cool factor alone, why not look into an ultra-cool spiral wine cellar that opens up right in your kitchen floor? Just imagine -- while you're tending to guests and preparing their meal, you mention a wine. In a blink, you open a hatch, and climb down a stairwell encased by a number of bottles of wine. You pick your beloved grape, and climb up with the desired bottle.
You would be the coolest house on the block, that's for sure!
