Reds and some other whites should remain at room temperature though. If it is a Zinfandel or a Chardonnay, yes keep it in the fridge.

Red wine is best stored in a cool dark place. If storing wine for a longer period of time make sure to place it on its side so that the cork keeps wet. Leave white wine in the fridge.

White wine is fine in the fridge. Tastes is compromised if you don't follow this general rule. Red wine is supposed to be at room temp, so if it was a red wine you should leave it out.

These wines are better served chilled anyway. If the wine your fiance gave you are reds (e.g. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Burgundy, Pinot Noir, Shiraz basically most reds) they need to be stored in a room where the temperature remains constant or doesn't get a sudden temp. fluctuation. BUT the best way for those wine to not spoil... Drink it ASAP ;o) Enjoy! Hi Roni, I love wine especially Cabernet, with regards to your question, there are two things to remember,

White wine keep it inside and put it outside half-an hour before consuming. If your house temperature(esp basement which is cooler) is around 40 to 50' You can store them in the basement for free. and no charge of electricity.
