Wine Kit Storage Temp

[limulus]

Hello All,
I just received a kit for a Chardonnay. I'm a long time home brewer since the 1990s but this is my first wine. I don't see anything about storage temp on the box. I'll continue searching here and elsewhere. It was pretty warm and I put the whole box-o-juice in the fridge. Is that bad?

Its stabilized to sit on a shelf for months and months. Just keep it in the coolest part of the house after you have cooled it down from shipping. I have kept some for 10 months in a cool closet at about 68 degrees on average with no ill side effects.

Thanks! I actually have a temperature controlled fermentation cabinet for beer. It is set to 68F.
