Where to Store Your Wine Collection

Whether you have a wine collection or are looking to get one started, youll want to have a good place to store it. Thats where a wine cellar comes into play. When deciding where to store your wine, be on the lookout for these aspects.

• A dark, well-ventilated space that can protect your bottles from contamination.
• Somewhere thats cool (experts say 51F and 59F is ideal) and has the perfect levels of humidity (shoot for 50% to 70%).
• Plenty of room to organize already installed bottle grids or racks are a plus!
