Do your best to keep the wines away from light, heat, vibration and-most importantly-temperature fluctuation. For most people, this could mean a corner of a closet. Keep the bottles lying on their side so the cork stays moist and doesn�t dry out. If you have a cooling unit, cellar temperature should be maintained at 55� F, with 70 percent humidity. Humidity is good because it�s another way to protect from drying, brittle corks that might cause premature aging. You don�t need to rotate your bottles, and actually, I strongly advise against it. I like my bottles to lay still, so that the sediment collects on one side and your bottles aren�t cloudy and chewy with it.
