When storing your wine there are a number of factors to consider. Is the wine being stored to drink in the near future or to store for the purpose of collecting? The optimum rage of red wine storage is between 14 degrees and 16 degrees celsius. As the temperature of wine storage increase so does the rate of maturation of the wine and the chemical reactions that cause the change in stored wine. So if you plan on drinking your wine within 5 years than a slightly higher temperature is appropriate while if you plan on keeping your wine well into the future then a lower temperature will suit your storage conditions.
