    Best not to leave it anywhere which is subject to extremes of heat or cold. Do you have a cupboard under the stairs? That would be ideal or a spare room in an area away from the light and leave any radiators off. It would be a shame for that much wine to be ruined :eek:

    +1 on all that.
    Get it out of the attic - probably the worst place in the house to store wine.

    what they siad. no room thats too warm or cold (esp freezing is a really bad thing) sunlight will effect btls of wine as well so throw a sheet over them if in the spare room.


    also on a side if btls have corks and the wedding is far away it would be advisable to store them on there sides. the reason for this is that corks can dry out and let air into the wine causing spoilage. keeping the cork in contact with the wine prevents this.
