The world's tallest free-standing structure has earned a spot in the Guinness Book of Records.
Toronto's CN Tower is now also recognized as having the world's highest wine cellar.
Adjudicator Carey Low acknowledged the wine cellar at the CN Tower in a lead-up to Guinness World Record Day, an international event designed to create as many new world records as possible.
Set 351 metres above the ground, the wine cellar was built in 1997 as an addition to the restaurant perched near the top of the Toronto landmark.
The cellar can hold 9,000 bottles of vino.
Low says it was satisfying to revisit the CN Tower, because it's been a big part of the architectural and engineering section of the Guinness Book of Records since it was erected in 1975.
