A wine cave fundraiser became a talking point during the Democrat presidential debate this week.
Thursday night’s Democratic presidential debate rocketed the existence of wine caves — not mere wine cellars, but subterranean caves bored into rock for the aging and consumption of wine — into America’s consciousness.
And on Friday the politicos continued to mine the wine cave. Sen. Bernie Sanders dinged Buttigieg said, “Unlike some of my opponents who have super PACs, my other opponents who are going to wealthy peoples’ homes and wine cellars, this campaign is funded by the working class of this country,” Sanders said during a campaign event.Wine caves aren’t actually anything new. Vacationers in Europe can still visit ancient Roman wine caves.
That led to more and more wineries using wine caves for entertaining visitors. Caves are also becoming more popular with private owners, according to Shone. He said Nordby recently worked on an 800-square-foot cave for a California homeowner. And some owners are turning to manmade caves for other purposes, such as storage of valuables like cars or art and protection from California’s wildfires.
