Light degrades wine, with UV degrading more than purely artificial; so storing in a bright room (per some of the glass walled storage areas) is a bad idea

thank you for this video, look forward to the next one. This interest me immensely but don't have the space yet. I purchased a 110 bottle wine fridge from vinotemp, but they do not have a humidity control setting. Put a humidity reader in the fridge overnight and it is showing 30ish%. Way below what you recommend. Is there any solution?

I would try to boast the moisture level by saturating two sponges and put them on soap dishes then locate them on the bottom of the vinotemp (one on the extreme right and the other on the extreme left. Check the humidity after a day or two and refresh the water in the dish as needed. That should help but let me know if you see a difference.

The best book I’ve read on the subject is ‘How and Why to Build A Wine Cellar’ by Richard M Gold.

Read that book over twenty years ago and I concur it is very useful without the fancy racks and glass doors.

Got quotes for a 450 bottle closet cellar in Ca and they came in at $40k-$45k which is insane. Last week I got two Allavino refris can store 500 bottles for $2500 each. Do you think I can age bottles there 10 yrs?
