Wine Storeage

[Randy Caparoso]

Consistency of temperature, and zero to low lighting, are key factors. But conventional wisdom holds that 12 to 16 degrees Celsius (55-60 Farenheit) is ideal. Opinions of connoisseurs diverge when it comes to lower temperatures than that. In any case, close to freezing temperatures is generally not recommended -- you want your wine to age gracefully and slowly, but not so slowly that it doesn't age at all!
