What People Talk About Wine Storage »

good question. At the wine school, we get many people asking for such services. However, if he is looking to open a facility, he needs to think in much higher volume. 3,000 may seem alot, but the school has two cellars: one holds 1K and the other holds 5K bottles. that is extreme (we are a wine school, after all) however, you can expect a serious collector --which are the only people to want such a service--would have somewhere between 500-1000 bottles in their cellar.

You would need a facility with at least 30,000 bottles capacity, seperate lockers for each client, and a redundant cooling system, plus backup generators in case of a blackout.

  No way. People who store wine to drink don't want to drive to pick it up.
  
  People who invest & collect can afford a home cellar or cooler.

Wine storage can be done safely in temperatures barely above freezing up to about 70 degress farenheit. Remember also that wine matures at a faster rate at higher temperatures. Between 45 - 55 degrees farenheit and humidty between 60%-70% is a superlative range in which to store wine.

A constant wine storage temperature is what you should be striving for. Recurring changes in wine storage temperature can be detrimental to your wine.

Now, a "cooler" is a device for keeping your Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio at a perfect temperature for service. But, ask youself this: just how many bottles of white wine do you need to have at perfect service temperature all the time?

Probably none. Yyour best bet is to chill your room temperature whites in the fridge for between 45 - 90 minutes before serving and drinking.

Glass fronts, shiny chrome, a "name", all can jack up the price of a nice storage unit, but honestly a nice laydown rack in a cool (40-68 degree), dark part of the house is all you need.

Best wishes! 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 ; ) Both red and white wines should be stored at the same temperature. It's only when you are ready to drink a wine that you want the wines at different temperatures. 1 zone will work.

Wine cellars are an important investment for the serious wine collector. Ideal temperatures for storing wine are between 50-55 degrees F with humidity at 70 degrees or slightly higher. The higher humidity helps keep the corks moist and reduces evaporation of the wine. Regular refrigerators are cooler than this and have lower humidity that will dry the corks and cause wine evaporation.
