Hmmm. Think you might be right.
I've gotta plan my next storage strategy down there.
First world problems.....

There's no such thing as too much wine.

More wine; fatter women

The down side of onsite storage? I'll take it.
I understand where you're coming from Carl. As mine slowly fills up the thought of having to relocate doesn't bear thinking.
It'd be offsite storage or another couple of Vintecs. Think I'll stay put.

My options are using the under stairwell room which is likely to hold a passive temperature in summer of 19-20c cooling to 15-6c over winter or converting one of the spare bedrooms and running a standard A/C. I think I will go with the under stairwell room.
It seems when It comes to cellaring wine the 2 biggest factors are temp and temp variation.
I wonder how much your stairwell room will change over a day in terms of temp?
I'm led to believe after scouring the net that more than a 1-2 degree variation over a day
is the limit in terms of temp variation for ideal storage.
I haven't done any temperature experiments in the stair well room but my suspicion is that the daily temperature variation won't be more than a couple of degrees. I guess my only real concern were during the Perth summer heat wave when we get stretches of 40c days, but even last summer when I walked into the 'under construction' stairwell room it felt markedly cooler.
Apart from a door leading to a underground garage the other 3 walls are surrounded by metres of dirt, protected by about 15 inches on brick, concrete and rebar. I also have a couple of Delonghi wine fridges in which i will keep my very few cork enclosures and high end wine to eliminate the humidity issues and protect against heat concerns.
There is always a better way but balanced against costs this is about the best i can do.
Regards
