Proper Wine Storage Considerations
There are a number of factors to consider when storing wine including temperature, humidity, light, and orientation.
What Temperature to Store Wine
Proper temperature control is an important aspect of storing wine. Wine is especially vulnerable to fluctuations in temperature. If exposed to a high temperature over 77°F for long periods of time, the wine may become rancid or off-flavor. Conversely, if the wine is kept in an area that is too cold (at or near freezing) the wine may expand forcing the cork out and exposing the wine to oxygen. The goal with wine is to keep it at a constant temperature year-round. Most experts put this temperature at 55°F.
