storing wine issues

[BRENDON]

Have three batches of wine ready to bottle soon, but gonna bulk age two of the batches little longer. The only issue is I have no place to store the wine at a lower temperature. my house stays at a consistant 71 degrees. Is this gonna be bad for my wine. Any suggestions?

It will just age faster.

Try to keep the temp steady if possible. Being a little warm is better than subjecting the wine to wild fluctuations in temp.

Like above, Constant Temp is most improtant. I age in 2 different rooms as not much room in cellar. (room in cellar taken up by 5 wineracks and 100+ cases of wine)

you can always search craigslist or similar for a used wine fridge..i would think even an old fridge turned way down would work

Yup, Consistancy is the key.

Agreed with all above.
Better a constant temperature as a fluctuating one.
