Planning to renovate the basement this winter. One of the rooms will become a so-called wine cellar. Therefore, I need tips on mortar/techniques to achieve a wall in this style:

I gratefully accept tips on mortar/construction of other types of similar walls, i.e., walls that exist in really old cellars and that look old and stony.

If you're an amateur like me at masonry & plastering, just purchase some plaster mortar, mix it, and apply it to the wall. Use only a trowel to help even out the wall/plaster. It will certainly not be smooth/even, new and professional-looking. It can be given a textured surface with a brush or burlap if desired.
Just make sure the wall is well-moistened when applying the plaster so it adheres nicely.
For moisture-laden walls, it's essential to use the right mortar and paint.
