For Bob Weinschenk, wine isn’t just a pleasant accompaniment for dinner: It’s a bond that connects him to family and friends. He grew up with his parents and French grandparents in Queens, NY, where wine was paired with conversation at just about every evening meal. As an adult, Weinschenk collected bottles, first storing them in closets at his home and eventually working his way up to three wine refrigerators, each holding 150 bottles.
Now living in Austin, TX, Weinschenk, 54, has taken his love of vino to a new level, with a custom cellar built directly under his kitchen, holding 2,500 bottles.
Weinschenk is one of a growing number of homeowners who are creating designated spaces in their homes to celebrate their love of wine, spirits, and beer. Whether it’s having a home sports bar to enjoy the big game with pals and signature cocktails or an outdoor beer garden, people are showing their love of entertaining by redesigning their homes to create boozy spaces.
Although there have always been deep-pocketed collectors of wine and spirits willing to invest in custom spaces, remodeling experts say there’s a growing wave of homeowners renovating their homes with drinking rooms in mind.
For Weinschenk, who has founded several startups, including a wine recommendation app called WhatsMyWine, the four-month construction project involved jackhammering 12 feet underground, pouring about 15,000 pounds of concrete, installing an HVAC unit, and, finally, having the 7-foot-wide cylindrical wine cellar shipped from the United Kingdom. It took a few more months to calibrate the optimal wine storage temperature. Total cost: about $60,000.
“It’s the intersection of food and beverage and residential [real estate],” says Jason Dorsey, president and co-founder of the Center for Generational Kinetics, a millennial and Generation Z research and consulting firm. “It’s not just putting up a Budweiser sign. People want this kind of live-play space in their house so they can entertain.”
The craze, which grew out of the artisanal food and craft beverage movement of the past decade, has really taken off in the past two or three years as more younger homeowners are remodeling their homes to suit their needs, says Nancy Fire, founder of Design Works International, a New York City–based interior and home design studio.
“It’s definitely a movement,” says Fire, who also serves as the design director of HGTV Home, curating the station’s home products. Millennials “truly love their homemade whiskey, bourbon, wine, and craft beer.”
Bars or wine cellars can add to a home’s value
Creating a boozy space doesn’t have to break the bank—and it might just make a home more valuable when it comes time to sell.
The average cost for a basement remodel is just under $19,000, for example. But an area can be revamped with fresh paint, carpet, and furnishings for much less. The average cost to install a wet bar ranges from $2,000 to $12,000, depending on the type of appliances and other details, according to HomeAdvisor.
The more deluxe spaces can be attractions unto themselves. Weinschenk’s wine cellar has an entrance set in the floor, covered in glass strong enough to stand on. It serves as a centerpiece when he and his wife have friends over for dinner.
“You can go in there and have hors d’oeuvres or just sit down and drink a glass of wine,” Weinschenk says. “It’s visually beautiful, and it doesn’t take up a whole room.”
Bob Weinschenk’s luxury wine cellar cost more than $60,000.

Although older homeowners typically have more money to pour into such features, younger homeowners are often the ones creating these booze-focused spaces. In the past 12 months, millennial homebuyers, now the largest single group of buyers, have spent an average of about $5,000 on home remodeling, second only to baby boomers, according to HomeAdvisor. And millennials are also 89% more likely to remodel a basement than homeowners of other generations.
“The whiskey room, the beer garden, it’s a way to put their stamp on the home without having to take out a second mortgage for a major renovation,” says Dan DiClerico, HomeAdvisor’s home expert.
You don’t need an extensive remodel to create a drinking space
Some homeowners are also creating smaller home spaces for libations and entertaining. One example would be a micro bar next to the kitchen.
Because they love to entertain in different ways, event planner Gina Whittington, 41, and her husband created several his-and her drinking areas in their respective home offices in Austin, TX.
“I started with a fun bar cart that I found and then some of my grandmother’s vintage carnival glass,” she says, describing her office bar.
Whittington’s husband has a bar not only in his office, but also in the garage. Their main bar in the living room is stocked with an array of spirits and vintage glassware, and the dining area holds their wine refrigerator and accessories.
The couple often entertain friends in the main bar areas, setting up a tequila bar or Scotch tasting. Whittington likes to make special cocktails for her book club and parties. She recently set up a station to mix up blood orange margaritas for the adult guests at her 2-year-old daughter’s taco-themed birthday party.
YOLO: Going all out and creating a full bar in your home
Some homeowners would rather stay in and have friends over to watch the big game than hit the bars.

Last year, for example, Curtis Irby, 51, had a full-scale sports bar built in the basement of his Quinton, VA, home.
The bar features a 6-foot commercial refrigerator, and the bar’s name, “Bloody Alibi,” is etched in a mirror behind the bar and backlit with LED lights that change color. The project took about four months and $50,000, Irby says.
Irby, 51, a former Navy football player who is now a high school Navy Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps teacher, says the bar seats six, but there’s plenty of standing room. He hosted friends for the Army-Navy football game last fall in his bar and had a Super Bowl party with about 25 people in attendance.
“You only live once,” Irby says. “A lot of people would get a small refrigerator and just be happy. I said, ‘No.’ I wanted to turn this into something that has the look and feel of a real bar.”
You don’t need to go to a sports bar when you have one in your own home.

Alexander House hotel
SLH
4 star Alexander House Boutique Hotel is an excellent private hotel situated close to the Mariinsky (Kirov) Theatre in the historical centre of St. Petersburg.
The charming hotel features exclusively designed interiors, and home like atmosphere in combination with all modern facilities.

My photos are inspired by Todd Hido's work on both interior and homes at night portfolios. I want to capture that stillness/eeriness of the homes at night and also that minimal affect of his interior work. Kinda like in #2551 of homes at night (www.toddhido.com/homes.html)

.\ B\'P condemns in the strongest possible words the racist remarks by out going Councilor of SSS (against "11om GSCASIJ is stilJ pending) from SFI-AISF combine against the students hailing from North-Eastern St at rs of l1td in. It expo ·es the true colour & frustration of the SFI-AISF combine toward the fellow citizens of India. These racist SFI Comrades have always regard them as their vote bank but when they began to :t-..scrt themselves agninst the autocratic, racist & intolerant behaviour of SFI & their parent Party CJ>JVJ "ho'le lkahminical Politbureau is devoid of any representation from the SCs/STs. Its high time that st11clertls of .JNU in general and student of North Eastern States should recognize the Real Face of these n tri,ts & sexual harassers from FJ-AJSF. .
ABVP strongly demands that stringent disciplinary actions be taken against him and also request to the CEC that he should be disenfranchised for the interest of the JNU student community in lwr·t ietrl:t r & for the national unity & integrity of India i"l general. .

Joint-Mechanism or Joint Pain? UPA's Foreign Policy will cost India dearly .
.
Friends, .
"Joint Anti-Terror" Mechanism, the much hyped product of short-lived NAM-Havana bonhomie that can succinctly be described as G Parthasarathy, former Ambassador to Pakistan said "its like investigating Mumbai bomb blast by CBI jointly with Dawood Ibrahim, the main accused of it!!". Indian foreign policy got its most ever gncvous blow when PM Manmohan Singh described Pakistan (Mother of Terrorism) as "victim of terrorism". One ·1eccs not be a security expert to know the costs of "sharing sensitive information" with Pakistan which is the hub of JthDdl [Crronsm; that might be used by lSI (with help from its friend China) to the benefit of its ongoing proxy war against lnd1a as :Jcr rures of 1ts favourite handbook "The Quranic Concept of War" written by a Pakistani Brigadier S. K. Mallik. Vvc all know that Pakistan always refuses to co-operate with India whenever India provides it with solid evidence. So, what rs :"'c need for the same now? UPA's Holy Trinity comprising Shivraj Patii-M.K.Narayanan-Pranab Mukherjee can be found n,owtng hot & cold over the important issues pertaining to national security behaving as if it is a thing of Child's play. Pu~llcl!y crazy National Security Adviser (NSA) went on record saying India has "pretty good" evidence of Pakistan's o;volvcment tn recent Mumbai train blast case but refused to share them with Pakistan saying they are not so .
"clinching". The very next day, newly appointed Foreign Mtnrster Pranab Mukherjee said it has "certain" evidence & \vi.l .
:;na"c them wrth Pakistan, caring little for its impact on India's security. .
Major Institutional Problems & Bilateral Contradictions of the Joint Anti-Terror Mechanism: .
.
.
Terrorism was one of the eight issues under the formulation of the composite dialogue process of 1997, whtch called for setting up a mechanism for bilateral cooperation and exchange of information at the interior and home' secretary level on the subject. So this is not a new mechanism Was the earlier mechanism a failure? If so. w1.::: guarantees are there that the new mechanism would not suffer a similar fate? .
.
.
Dr Singh's statement that Pakistan is also a "VICtim of terror" ltke India overlooked the basic difference betvJCCil the two cases. Pakistan is a victim of terror because of its own Jihadi culture and hobnobbing with fundamenlc..lrst groups over the years. The role of Pakistani madrasas is very crucial in this regards. India is a victim of terrons:11 due to Pakistan's policies. There is no similarity between the two cases. Also, there can be no joint mechantsm which deals with the kind of terrorism Pakistan faces -sectarian and sub-national in nature, and the one wh1ch India confronts --sponsored by Pakistan-based groups. .
.
.
The most important lacunae in the new mechanism is that there is no clear provision for taking to task or handing over the terrorist who are found guilty for terrorist activities. Dawood Ibrahim has been kept out of the purvrew of the new joint mechanism. With such inbuilt riders and lacunae, isn't the new mechanism doomed? .
.
.
And then the BIG question is even if India agrees to share highly sensitive informations with Pakistani Establishment, what is the guarantee that Pakistan will act against them & extradite them to India for justice'> Because in an interview to a private news channel on 21 51 September,2006 Pakistani High Commissioner Azr.!. /\hmad Khan refused to do so and said that it is the prerogative of Pakistan whether to extradite any terrorist leader to India or not to do so. .
