The bottle of wine was placed horizontally on a wine rack together with other wine in a non-airconditioned room (temperature about 25 to 27 degree celscius). Today, the cork was forced out of the bottle suddenly, spilling the wine. The bottle was not touched at all.

Can someone explain why the cork was forced out of the 750ml bottle. This is my first experience. I have also not heard of such experience before.

Hello wine lovers- We have a 3 litre bottle of 1993 Beaulieu Vineyard Georges De Latour Cabernet Sauvignon. I think my husband got it as a high school graduation present (back in 1995). It’s been in the basement until about a year ago when we had to move it to room temperature upstairs. It has some tiny drops of sticky, dark red residue peeking through the holes around the cork. Is it bad?

Could someone let me know what the upper temperature range for a wine or beverage refrigerator is?

We are looking not to maintain wine, but another item at a specific temperature range. This material must be maintained at "room temperature" (64-77 degrees Farenheit), and a normal refrigerator is too cold and the temperature range cannot really be controlled. We are concerned especially during the summer where the ambient temperature may go above 77 degrees.

We see a wine or beverage coolers as our best option, but websites basically state the lower range of temperature (which is actually too low for our purpose), we need to know the upper range of temperature.

If anyone who owns a wine or beverage refrigerator could help us with the upper range of temperature in general and let us know whether one could be set for 64-77 degrees it would be appreciated.

If anyone knows of any specific models or brands that fit the criteria, it would be wonderful. Thanks.
To further clarify, I am not looking to store wine, but need to know if a wine or beverage cooler can be set within a temperature range of 64-77 degrees farenheit.

If you know of models that can be set in that range, please let me know, thanks.

I was wondering if you have a bottle of red wine at room temperature and you don’t drink it all that day and you are going to have it by the next day, should you put it in the refrigerator or leave it at room temperature. Will it go bad at room temperature?

I had a bottle of chardonnay in my refrigerator for a few weeks. My fridge just broke but I wanted to keep the bottle since it is unopened, will letting it go from chilled to room temperature ruin the wine?

How long can I ceep it if it is unopened and kept at standard room temperature. I have it stored on its side, in a wine rack.

My mother have in her refrigerator SEVERAL remaining unopened bottles of wine that were not used in a party and the bottles are now occupying needed space of her fridge. Since we don’t usually drink we don’t know if its okay to leave them at room temperature after being in the refrigerator.

I have a few people that have turned up unexpected, but have only a bottle of red opened about two weeks (at most) ago to offer. I usually keep red wines that have been opened for cooking, but would it be advisable to pour for a drink? Jacob’s Creek Grenache Shiraz it is. I understand flavor will be altered, but is it safe to drink as it has been sealed with a screw top, but at room temperature. Many thanks in advance.

I had some leftover table-red wine from a recent party (about a case and a half). It accidently got stored at room temperature for a week instead of in the basement. The bottles were screw tops and the wine was unopened. Some of the bottles had been previously chilled during the party. When I opened one of the bottles today the wine seemed slightly brown and tasted off. I didn’t think it could have gone bad so quickly. Is this a storage issue or could the wine have already been bad? THANKS!!

I have about 3 cases of a red Barbera wine, which is supposed to be consumed young. Since I don’t have a cellar and it may take me 1 year to drink it, can I keep the bottles at room temperature or should I store them in the spare fridge (about 40F)? I kept white wine in the fridge for 2 years and it was very good, but I never tried with reds.
