Importance of Temperature & Humidity in Wine Storage |
| Perhaps the most significant factors in ageing wine are temperature, temperature variation, and humidity. Wines will age satisfactorily at moderately high temperatures although the ageing process is accelerated and the corks may leak, further accelerating the oxidation process. However, the chemical reaction rate is doubled for every 10 degrees Celsius of variation. Therefore, if the wine is fluctuating up and down with changes in daytime and nighttime temperatures of seasonal variations, it is like alternating between the gas and the brakes in the ageing process. This cannot be good. |
| Temperature variation also is a factor in cork fluctuation. High temperature tends to cause the cork to move up the neck leaving additional head space and more air contact area with the wine. As the wine cools again the cork does not move back, which accelerates the oxidation process. |
| A temperature range of 55 to 57 degrees is just about perfect for the preservation of wines. |
| For the same reasons, humidity is a key factor, so that the cork will not dry out. |
| La Cave Warehouse storage temperature is therefore around 55 degrees Fahrenheit, with 60% to 70% humidity. |
