I keep my wine in a store temperated to 14 degres C (aprox. 57 F) all year. But as I would like to help the world in using a little less energy I have wondered about this: I would like to decrease the temp. to 8 degrees C (46,4 F) in the winter period (dec-feb). If I avoid fluktuations in temp. what would then the implications of the lower winter temperature be? My guess is, that it would give an slow down in developement of the wine and nothing else. My concern is of cause the quality of the wine. What would You very knowledgeable gentlemen out there say? Am I planning something stupid?
