A person in charge of a cellar, especially in a college, monastery, or large household.
From Old French celier, from Latin cellarium (storeroom). The suffix -er indicates a person who performs a particular role or duty.
A cellager was basically the manager of the wine and food supply—in medieval monasteries and colleges, this was actually a really important job with a lot of responsibility!
Historically male-dominated cellar management role; feminine form 'cellaress' created to accommodate women, but primary term remained masculine-default.
Use 'cellar manager' or 'cellar keeper' to avoid gendered occupation terminology.
["cellar manager","cellar keeper","cellar attendant"]
Women cellagers existed historically but were often recorded under masculine titles or as subordinates to male cellagers despite equal skill.
