I was invited to a friend's for dinner last week and to my horror found that he had been storing his wine in a CONSERVATORY! This was at the start of the heatwave and when I stepped in to browse through his collection, the heat hit me square in the face. Must have been upwards of 40c in there. As a result, I had to sit him down for a long hard chat about the dangers of heat strike in wine. The temperature that your wine is stored at is just as important as the temperature that it is consumed at - hence the requirement for a cellar.Originally Posted by Ash
