Question about bottled wine storage

olusteebus · Sep 1, 2015

I plan on making some wine here in Florida ( I do mostly in alabama) and in the summer, if we are away, The temp in the house will get to about 78 degrees. Will this hurt bottled wine or wine ageing in a carboy?

temp swing and temp value will affect wine aging. 78 seems to high to me. ideal is 55-65.

It will age much faster at 78 than at 55 but is will be fine as long as you don't have an airlock/stopper go dry or pop out for some reason while you are away.
