    Default Storage tips for those without cellars?

    Okay so I live in a small apartment and have no access to a cellar. How should I be storing my wine? Any input would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    How many bottles? Or are we talking cases? How expensive are these bottles? Do you want them for long-term storage, or do you want to store stuff you plan to consume in relatively short order?

    Wine refrigerators or off-site storage, those are your two choices depending on the above.

    Currently only starting to collect. I can probably only have around 25-50 bottles given my space. an equal mixture of long term and ready to drink.

    I will look into the options. Thanks Fusion.

    You can use a couple wall displays and get a small wine fridge.

    I will look into it. Thanks. Will have to most likely go into freestanding since I am not sure if my building management will allow wall mounts.

    You can get a wine fridge on craigslist really cheap. a good amount of the cigar guys use them for cigar storage.

    Rule of thumb for storing wines obviously would be a small wine fridge but if that is not in the cards try using a small rack in the floor of the closet. They ususally stay cooler and darker than anything else you can do without the cellar. Use the other racks/displays for your everyday wines and a little extra show. Don't ever put them on top of the fridge or in a wine rack up high....heat rises...good luck.
