stair access only? no thanks :)

Deep inside the cliffs above the River Derwent lie some 4,000 bottles of premium wine. Built by a mining company over a 6 and-a-half month period, the cellar is accessed via a tunnel from either the cliff top or the water's edge. It is 9 storeys deep (35 metres from the cliff to water and 100 metres long and has underground power and water.

Entry at the top through a heavy security door leads to a curved metal staircase which winds its way down four storeys to the grotto-like main cellar

If I could afford it, I could afford to install a lift :p
 
Mrs mini2 have recently discovered my storage bills and demanded something to be done about it. Now, how do you determine what goes into a climate controlled storage and what gets thrown into the dungeon underneath the house (14 deg in winter, can reach 25 on 40+ deg days in summer). Price? Rarity? Future value expectations?

Interested to hear your thoughts on this.
 
My initial thoughts are wines you plan to drink in the next few years (with maybe the exception of some very high value bottles) would not need climate control. I would also try to insulate a small area of the dungeon or get polystyrene broccoli boxes or similar (leaving it passive) and keep/store bottles together, as thermal mass will reduce the daily temp fluctuations.

Solution seems pretty obvious. Replace Mrs mini2 :)
