Should I store my wine in the refrigerator or cabinet?

I have two choices for storing my wine (for a week or so):

How you ultimately store your wine should be determined by the type of wine you want to store. If you are storing whites, a cooled wine cabinet or refrigerator could work fine. However, storing any wine in the modern day refrigerator will not guarantee a proper humidity and could result in flavor loss or wine loss if too much oxygen is allowed through the cork.

Do not store reds in a refrigerator as you are preventing the wine from aging properly. Temperatures that are too cold will hault the aging process.

Storing wine in an uncontrolled climate like a wine cabinet without having it in a proper setting where temperatures do not exceed 55 degrees F is not good either. If you store your wine in an environment that exceeds recommended temperatures you could lose wine to the environment, ruin it with the heat or too much humidity.

Your options are to buy a cooled wine cabinet that can at least store it around 55-60 degrees F or place it in your basement where temperatures might be cooler and no sunlight will reach the bottles.

A wine cellar or wine room with proper cooling and humidity is the best solution, but will be costly to create.
