Cave à vin

Mon ami qui habite à Bordeaux a une impressionnante cave à vin. //
My friend who lives in Bordeaux has an impressive wine cellar.

Today’s phrase is from the same source, Transparent Language, with a slight change. I was perplexed by the lack of spatial preposition à (as in à Bordeaux) in the original phrase (Mon père qui habite Bordeaux a une cave à vin impressionnante).

Google translate also thinks that à is required, so let’s have it. I am still at such a basic level of French that I can’t be sure if both variants are correct (or one of them, or none). So... let’s just concentrate on cave à vin (wine cellar), shall we?

Il a un problème (he has a problem)

Son vin chaud n'est pas assez épicé // His mulled wine is not spicy enough

Today's phrase is from Transparent Language again.

The cat claims his drink is not spicy enough, but I'd say it is. Judging by the look of him.
