Think about placing a thermometer next to your Champagne. The ideal temperature for champagne storage is between 50 and 59 degrees Fahrenheit (10 to 15 degrees Celsius). Place a thermometer on the wall, close to the bottles so that the climate in the storage area can be checked and adjusted regularly.
Keep the temperature constant. For extended aging of wine (over 1 year), refrigeration is a must in most parts of the world; even a below-ground cellar is not cool enough. Wine storage temperature should not go over 75ËF (24Â°C), for longer than brief spans of time. At 75Â°F, wine begins to oxidize. An ideal temperature for storing a varied wine collection is 54Â°F (12.2Â°C). Letting the temperature drop below 54Â°F won't hurt the wine; it'll only slow down the aging process. However, A 68 to 73 degree storage area is far preferable to one that is 45 to 65 degrees F, though the first approaches the dangerous 75 figure.
