Storing of WINE

What is the right temperature?
Most wines are ruined by being too warm than too cold, especially in warm countries in South East Asia. A wine that is served too cold is easily warmed, but a wine served too warm can be difficult to chill. Therefore, when in doubt, serve it colder than you might think necessary. A wine that is too warm tastes alcoholic and is not a pleasure to drink. In general, white wines are served cooler than red wines.
The optimum temperature for storing wines is 50 to 55°F (10-12°C). However, any constant temperature within 40-65°F (5-18°C) will do. More important than the actual temperature you will be able to achieve, is the degree and rapidity of fluctuation the wine is subjected to. Quick change in temperature will cause damage to your wines and age them prematurely.
