wine in a wine cellar
Temperature
An ideal temperature for wine storing is 11°C, but also the unwavering temperature between 5-18 °C is also suitable in the wine cellar. Higher temperature increases wine oxidation, the bottle of wine stored at the tempertaure 18°C will mature much quickly than the same wine at the temperature 11°C, but constant 18 °C is better for wine than the unwavering temperature.
Light
Ultraviolet radiation is very harmful for wine. We have to protect wine from sunshine and artificial lighting.
Storage
The bottles and the cartons should be stock lying down to protect the oxidation.
Lower and higher temperature
There can precipitate a wine stone in wine at the lower temperature. It is not fault.
Wine grows older at the higher temperature and the colour of white wine becomes amber. Wine with residual sugar can ferment.
