"And please don't put red wine into a fridge... ;-)" Nonsense ! That's an old myth. Is a cellar warm or cold ? If you chill down some Pinot Noir, does it ruin it ? I store about 20 cases in my garage in old fridges kept at 55. It's worked fabulously for 20 years. Wine does not like repeated temp change during storage. I own a Bar-Restaurant and we go through a ton of wine. It's all properly stored now, but in our old property, the cellar was quite warm. Unfortunately it was the only place we could keep it. It was always hot, 24/7/365 due to the refrigeration not being vented properly. The wines were fine and continue to be 15 -20 years later. They seem to mature more quickly though. wj
