Wine Cellar
My wine cellar stay between 55 and 60 deg F all year with very little daily variation. But the humidity is 80-85%. What is the best humidity level for wine storage?
first of all the optimum temperature should be between 10-12 deg C (or 50-55 deg F) but for shorter term storage (IE only a couple of years) 5-18 deg C will do (or 40-65 deg F) note that sudden changes of more than 10 deg F will cause your wines to age prematurely, the humidity affects the shrinkage of the corks and so humidity should be between 50-80%, best results around 70%. Excess humidity doesn't damage the wine, rather only affects the corks and labels. and I' sure you know, but keep them out of light (including UV light) and store horizontally
Happy drinking ; )
