Your strategy should mainly depend on your objective in building a cellar and there are important questions to answer or points to consider for a good cellar, aligned with your taste and drinking habits: - Start by estimating the budget you would like to allocate into your cellar. - Then think about the consumption and ageing, what portion of your cellar is for immediate consumption, what portion will be for ageing or a long-term investment. - Create a good balance between the wines you will stock for immediate consumption and those that you see as an investment. Spread your wine purchases across different types, price points, vintages and ageing potential. - Build a future cellar inventory plan, make each purchase with your strategy in mind and grow your collection slowly.
