In Europe, there are various warehouses equipped to store wine very well. The one we use is 120 miles outside of London. It has cellars that are 70 feet underground and are cut out of limestone. The temperature is very consistent. These warehouses have the right kind of humidity and special equipment.
People also have special refrigerated units designed for wine at home.
You have to keep wine at a cool temperature or it turns into vinegar. If it is too warm, the cork will also dry out, which will lead to oxygen getting into the wine, spoiling it. All Rights Reserved. Terms under which this service is provided to you. Read our privacy guidelines .
