Humidity control can enhance wine storage, especially if wine is stored long-term. Ideal humidity levels are around 60-70%, which keeps corks from drying out, preserving the wine’s quality. While humidity control isn’t essential for short-term storage, it’s beneficial in climates with very dry or damp air. A dedicated wine cellar or humidifier in the storage area can help maintain consistent humidity. If you don’t have climate control, a stable environment away from direct sunlight, drafts, and fluctuating temperatures can still provide decent storage conditions.
