Perhaps the most important aspect is TEMPERATURE CONTROL. Large temperature fluctuations on the hot side will ruin wine.

A cool and moderately dry place (like a basement) is where you want them, unless you've got rock steady temperature in your kitcken where you can place a small rack on the cabinet.



I find if I leave my box of Wal-Mart "Sam's Blend" wine upside down in my Tour during the heat of the day it make it more palatable by increasing the sugar levels and giving it than cardboard aftertaste It makes it pour easily throught the pop out spout when it is 120 degrees and has the floral bouquet of burnt violets ......beer me!
