A lot of money at a guess, haha.

It may sound silly, and no doubt if i ever put the idea forward to my girlfriend she would dismiss it right away, but could you possibly feature it on a wall in your appartment (should there be room)? Parhaps buy a few large wine racks and secure them to the wall?

I think it would look pretty cool and make a pretty good talking point.

Yeah...from the looks of it, unless you happen to have a tall house that you can build a circular shaft in, you'll need to excavate a circular shaft and line it with concrete--basically a well. If you can't do that, I think a better idea is to just give up one of the interior walls in your house and build a wine wall.

Yea, they are actually meant to be built underground and use the earth to assist with keeping the temperature just right. A wine wall isn't a bad idea though, I like that.

I am considering just doing mine in my half basement, or possibly even under a shed outside. It was suggested to me to possibly use industrial drainpipe as the outer wall. Building shelves is easy enough, I think the spiral staircase would be the only real engineering challenge. Even still not that hard to build. Might not all be to code though so making it as hidden as possible may be beneficial. Still researching right now.

Unless that shed had HVAC, that would be a bad idea.

ETA: as far as using industrial drainpipe as the wall, it could work, but you'd need to overbore your hole, fit the pipe, the fill the outside space with some kind of slurry, probably grout.
