wine storage
Which is better for storing wine... too hot or too cold? I have some
wine which is already 6 years old and I want to age it for a few more years. I live in a hot sub-tropical climate which is well above the 15șC reccomended for wine storage. Refrigerating it would be well below 15șC. I imagine that while the heat will damage the wine, the cold of the fridge will slow the ageing process but not actually damage it. Is this correct? |

The vibrations from a regular fridge would not be good for the wine. Winecellars coolers control both temp and humidity and don't have the vibrations. |

I'm planning on opening a wine bar with 30-40 wines by the glass.
Although the WineBar systems seem to be most favorable to quality, I still want the romance of pouring from the bottle. What's the current thoughts on preserving wine - over night or a few days? Whites will take care of themselves, but I'm more concerned over offering a Far Niente or comparable wine - by the glass. One local high-end resort here uses vacuum process after each pour. Most vineyards I've talked to use inert gasses. I want to offer a great selection btg - but don't want to throw my profits down the drain - appreciate your thoughts. Bill |
