Most cellars are made of brick or stone.
I can't believe this one turned out to be made of straw and blew right down.

It was made of stone, but there was a flooding pollution incident, the sump pump failed, and rather than clean and rebuild, the stones are being repurposed and the wine has been rescued and rehoused
