Building wine cellar

[TheEngineer]

okay,....coming around slowly...<P>Planning for basement renovations have taken a few turns. Now I need to revisit everything again and I thought that I would revisit the decision to not build a cellar, but only racking....<P>I searched the posts and it seems that "Dr. Gold's superb little book, "How and Why to Build a Wine Cellar"" is still the go to source. Is this true or has there been another which is equally good, better, cheaper? Internet sources with info and plans free? racking measurements? type of wood.<P>Also, planning to build my own racks now, what type of wood would be better for this. At my home depot, only popular has 1x2 and 1x1 while pine and redwood have only 1x2. I was also told no to build out of cedar due to smell.
