Cellier

A cellier (pronounced sell-yay), of French origin, refers to a room, typically in a house or apartment, used for the storage of wine, liquors, or other alcoholic beverages, along with related supplies. It is often synonymous with a wine cellar, although the term cellier can also encompass a more general storage area for various types of drink and bar-related items. Unlike a typical storage room, a cellier is specifically tailored to the needs of beverage storage, potentially including features like temperature control (though not always). The scale and sophistication of a cellier can range from a small cabinet to a dedicated room or even a specialized underground structure, depending on the owner's collection and preferences. The word derives from the Old French "celier," meaning a storeroom or cellar.
