Experts suggest that the ideal place to store wine is a dark, dank, but roomy cellar.
Line your cellar with racks, but make sure you give yourself plenty of room to roam about your collection. A place to relax and enjoy part of your collection is a must. If a wine cellar doesn't fit into your home's floor plans, consider storing your wine in an attic, basement, under a stairway or in empty space in a spare room. Place your bottles under an insulated blanket. Select a place that is free from vibration, protected from sources of heat and shaded from direct sunlight.
