The perfect temperature for any wine is, in the industry, considered to be 10-13 degrees celsius. If your store you good vintage wine at any temperature above than this ideal and the wines will mature faster.  A temperature below will result in a slower development of the wine.  It is possible for wine to be successfully stored slightly above the ideal but the key factor in this success is to ensure that the temperatures do not fluctuate greatly. In this respect storing wine in an outside building like a garage or shed is never a good idea as the temperature fluctuations in these environments will see a significant degradation in the quality of the wine. And storing wine in an attic is again not ideal due to low temperatures in winter and high temperatures in summer.  And to be tempted to store the wine openly in the kitchen on a wine rack should not be considered as temperature changes through cooking will have a great detrimental affect.  And besides, with the wine on show, you are more likely to drink that fine vintage before it has reached its full maturity! So where in the house is an ideal environment for wine storage?  Well, if you are lucky enough for your home to have a basement then this can be ideal.  Or alternatively, if it is not completely full with the children’s coats and shoes, storing your vintage collection of wine under the stairs can also provide a suitable environment for its maturing.
