How cold is too cold?

[winoweenie]

The only thing the lower temp will affect is the maturation time. The colder it becomes the longer it takes for the wine to develop. Case in point lots of the old Irish castles cellars are 40* +or- year round. The Glamis castle had cases of the 1870-something Lafites in magnum and when discovered and sold from there were still babies a coulple of years back. WW (IMHO you should talk to the people you purchansed this hummer from. Sounds like a faulty thermostat to moi.)<p>[This message has been edited by winoweenie (edited 02-25-2006).]
