Wine Storage

[hotwine]

Welcome to the board.
1) You've probably not harmed the wine stored in the unit at this time of year.
2) Yes, I recommend moving the unit into the house before outside temperatures climb above the 70's. Why? Because most wine fridges are designed to chill no more than 20 degrees below the ambient temperature, and if ambient is 80 or more, the unit will only chill to 60 (or higher). UNLESS the unit is designed with beefed up compressor, as is my EuroCave 260 1-Temp, which has been in our garage for two years now and is stable at 56 degrees.
