Humidity - What is ideal?

[hotwine]

I think 60%-70% is the ideal range. Lower, and the corks begin to dry and possibly shrink, allowing air to enter the bottle. And higher, the labels come loose from the bottles and turn into big snowflakes on your cellar floor (a condition with which I became all too familiar, prior to installing a chiller).<P>Mine was at 66% from June to December, when it slid to 58%. Has now held steady at that value for a month.
