Hey all,
So I've been bulk aging some wines in my basement which was cool but due to summer recently warmed up a bit. Probably mid to upper 70s. Will this be a major problem? I don't really have the room to move it upstairs where it's 68-70.
 
the temps to age wines are what you can control to make the best wine you can. How you decide to keep them there are up to the commitment you have to the best wine you can make. As you grow as a wine maker you will decide if you want to worry about a 10 degree shift or not.
That said I try to keep mine somewhere around 68 degrees for a year while aging.
As far as a major problem, I do not see a major problem, is it optimal? The temps are starting to get a little warm.
