Wine Storage Factors to remember when storing wine are lighting, temperature and humidity. Lighting Keep wine out of direct sunlight. This would heat up the wine and cause the wine to breakdown to rapidly. Temperature Should be between 45-65°F Temperature , ideal temperature is 54°F. Temperature is a factor in the aging process. Within the ideal range, higher temperatures will result in faster aging while cooler temperatures will slow the process. Never allow wine to reach a storage temperature of more than 75°F as it will be ruined. Humidity Wines are stored on their side to prevent the cork from drying out which could let air enter the bottle.
