What is the best way to store unopened wine?
Wine should be stored in a cool location where a constant temperature is maintained. Heat is a wine’s enemy so no matter how nice it looks, don’t install a wine rack in a cabinet above your stove or refrigerator! High temperatures make a wine age must faster than normal. Fluctuations in temperatures force air in and out of the bottle and can also cause rapid aging due to exposure to oxygen. Wine coolers are a great way to store wine, but are rather expensive. Usually, a nice, cool basement is a good location for wine storage.
