Temperature Controlled For Wine Collectors
Perhaps you’re more of a connoisseur or a collector, with special bottles you’ve acquired over the
years through gifts and a handful of purchases that were a bit of a splurge over your everyday wine. No matter where you are
in building your collection, we can help you refine your approach, improve your buying strategy and create a cellar that you,

Temperature
Everyone seems to agree that temperature is the crucial variable. It’s
likely that relatively few wines are spoiled by low humidity or light exposure, but many are ruined through storage at high
and/or variable temperatures.
A temperature of 55° Fahrenheit and a Relative Humidity of 60-65% are ideal
for long-term wine storage. The cool temperature slows the aging process, while the high humidity prevents moisture inside
the wine bottle from moving into the cork and eventually evaporating into the air. Ultraviolet light exposure should be kept
to a minimum
Humidity
Why is humidity important? When corks dry out they lose elasticity. When wines
are stored lying down the cork is in contact with wine at one end. Storing wines in humid conditions is thought to be beneficial
because they prevent the other end of the cork from drying out.
