Pointers about wine storage

[sgutte]

Foodie, I was affraid that would be the answer, but I was hoping for some type of tip for keeping wines cool.<BR>However, if I understand you right, there is no inherent damage to the wine, but only that air will penetrate and oxidation will begin. The heat itself doesn't hurt the wine? If the cork survives then all is OK? If you found that you forgot a bottle on your kitchen counter, unopen, for a day would you throw it out?<p>[This message has been edited by sgutte (edited 05-04-2003).]
