Sometimes people will get it in their heads that the only way that one can store wine is to build an elaborate wine cellar or purchase an expensive wine refrigerator. While both work, they simply are not necessary. If you know the basic principles of wine storage, you can store your wines at practically no cost at all -- or at least a very small cost.
My great grandmother (or maybe it was great GREAT grandmother) made wine. She made it from Muscatine grapes that grew wild on the farm where she lived. She stored the wine in what was a rather rustic version of a cellar. It was actually just a deep pit with a wooden door to allow access. She had been dead for many years before we discovered this underground treasure house.
Wooden Wine Cabinet
I don't know whether she really knew what she was doing or why, but she had done everything right. The bottles of wine were tightly sealed. They were all lying on their sides so that the wine was in contact with the cork. The cellar was cool year-round. And yes, the wine was wonderful! It might have been an abomination to polished palates, but the love and care that had gone into the making made it special to us.
The point is this: You probably can't dig a deep pit in your apartment or in the backyard of your small home, but you can purchase a wine cabinet that will provide safe wine storage for you. Wine cabinets are not all that expensive, and if you will follow the basic principles of wine storage, your wine collection will be safe in a relatively inexpensive wine cabinet.
Wine should be stored horizontally. The wine needs to stay in contact with the cork. The place that your wine is stored needs to be dark or at least not be subject to direct sunlight, and the temperature needs to remain cool.
