How to age a wine

[yppaul]

Hello everyone,


One more question on wine aging. Unfortunately i have not yet invested in a wine fridge so I store my wine ina kitchen cabinet. This issue here is that the temperature hovers between 75-78F. Is this too much of an issue? Do I risk my wine cooking in those temperatures?

I am aging a master victor Pinot noir kit and only interest in short term aging max 1-2 years.

Thank you again for all the help and time

No. it's a little too warm for long term storage and will age the wine quicker than a 55-60* fridge or cellar.

But, okay for a year or two.

Best bet for aging wine: cool, dark and dry.

It's not such the temp as it is the swing of the temp. 75-78F for up to two years should be fine.
