Pointers about wine storage

[Thomas]

I was trying to put the best face on the bad news; it takes a little time for the wine to turn, but it takes only hours for the wine to expand and start to push the cork.<P>Within a day the wine might survive. But that depends on the individual wine. Few, if any, will survive over time at 80F--Madeira should.<P>If you haven't a cellar, and you haven't a refrigerator for them, the wines should be stored in a dark place, far away from the kitchen and preferably where there is air circulation.<BR><p>[This message has been edited by foodie (edited 05-04-2003).]
