    Abstract: A wine cellar includes a storage room for storing food, a cooling device for supplying cooled air to the storage room, a heating device for supplying heated air to the storage room and a fan for circulating outside air of the wine cellar and inside air of the storage room. A temperature sensor senses the temperature in the storage room. A processor determines an operation mode of the wine cellar on the basis of the sensed temperature of the storage room and a set temperature for the storage room, and selectively controls the cooling device or the heating device on the basis of the determined operation mode. When the determined operation mode is a heating mode, the processor controls the fan to allow the outside air to flow into the storage room, and controls the heating device to start supplying the heated air during the operation of the fan.
