Various Aspects of H.O.S Wine Cellar

  • 1. Setting up areas for Sparkling / Red / White
  • 2. Old World / New World
  • 3. Detailed country-specific offerings within each continent
  • These three steps can be considered the basics.

 

However, in addition to these distinctions, the H.O.S Wine Cellar digs deeper into specialized items, impressively further segmenting product lines like ‘3. Bordeaux 4. Burgundy 5. France 8. USA 9. Collectors Club’.

The 9 product lines are divided into 9 zones, allowing for a very intuitive indexing experience while browsing nearly 5,000 wines.

The basic zoning structure of each section utilizes walls and columns to create display shelves, along with modules for showcasing products on island displays.

Among the wine cellar’s 9 zones, particularly impressive sections include:

In the American section, there is a dedicated area for wines from ‘Shaper Vineyard’, which Shinsegae is well-known for acquiring, adding depth to the offerings. Additionally, the brief explanations on the POP allow customers to intuitively understand the wines they are purchasing. (Wines released from Shaper Vineyard are priced around 500,000 to 1,000,000 KRW)

COOL CLIMATE

A section themed around the trending keyword ‘COOL CLIMATE’ in the wine industry. Even without direct explanations from a sommelier, the friendly descriptions stood out.

Overall, the space design is quite sophisticated, making the experience of exploring the wine specialty hall feel like visiting a well-organized small library or personal study, which was pleasantly connected.

At the same time, there are details about sales hidden throughout the store to create a sense of tension.

‘Star Producer’ ‘Special Offer’ displays are strategically placed between zoning, serving as points to entice customers to open their wallets in the high-priced wine forest.

Among the zoning from 1 to 9, the 3. Bordeaux 4. Burgundy 5. France wine sections stand out for their deeper immersion, intentionally creating a closed layout to enhance product engagement, unlike sections 7 to 9.

1st Spirit Zoning Specializing in Whiskey

The 1st Spirit Zoning, specializing in whiskey, applies a completely different spatial design from other areas, visually distinguishing itself from wine.

It was also impressive that a separate section was created for high-priced limited edition products. Popular brands have dedicated sections to enhance product focus. The confidence of H.O.S Wine Cellar in maintaining sufficient stock of popular items was also evident.

The House of Shinsegae Wine Cellar features another special space. The ‘APEX COLLECTION’, curated more meticulously for the top-tier customers in wine, is that space. As a high-end cellar showcasing ultra-expensive rare wines, entry is mandatory with staff present in the store.

Since this space is not indicated among the 9 sections, it exudes an even higher sense of luxury compared to external spaces, the APEX COLLECTION.

While wines from outside range from hundreds of thousands to millions of KRW, the wines in this space, each carrying the suffix ‘Legend’ in their category names, are ultra-rare wines priced from hundreds of thousands to millions of KRW.

Now, if we talk about the most expensive wine in the world, it would be the series from Leroy, not DRC…

Priced at 200 million KRW per bottle.

Finally, I plan to organize the hot places into a series. Enjoy watching!
