Cellar
Beginner Aging & StorageDefinition
A temperature-controlled storage space for aging wine.
Im Detail
Ideal cellar conditions: 12-14°C constant temperature, 60-70% humidity, darkness, absence of vibration, and horizontal bottle storage. Temperature fluctuation is more damaging than a steady temperature slightly above ideal. Professional cellars maintain these conditions precisely. Home wine fridges approximate cellar conditions. Underground caves are naturally ideal.
