Storing Port Wine?!

Question:

Storing Port Wine?

I am keeping some bottles of good Port and Madeira wine as well as Brandy in a darkened room in Madrid. In summertime the temperature rises to as high as 30 degrees.
How long will the wine and brandy retain their quality under these conditions?

The biggest contributor to BAD wine is temperature especially drastic changes. Wine should be kept at 58-63F. When wine temperatures fluctuate the wine begins to degrade. So...

Put your wine in a place with a constant temperature of less that 65F but more than 55F.

You should try to store them in as cool of a temperature as possible. They won't last the summer at 30 degrees. Ideally, you would keep them in a basement or root cellar (10-15 degrees C)
