Unfortunately, keeping important pieces of artwork in your home can expose them to suboptimal climate conditions. When you need to ensure that you aren’t keeping your art somewhere that will destroy it, we may be able to help.
Leftover wine can go in the refrigerator as long as the cork is replaced, even if it's red wine. Leaving the wine out will ruin the taste. Even then, you should finish the bottle within 48 hours.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t take much in the way of temperature and humidity variations to drastically alter the taste of your wine. If you can’t afford to trust the finest vintages in your collection to the whims of area power surges, you may want to consider moving the bulk of your collection to a wine storage facility.
Have you ever seen an old painting with a pattern of cracks that looks like a bulls-eye? This is normally caused when something hits the surface of the painting, but it doesn't show up until there have been many rapid temperature and/or humidity changes. Storing your paintings in a constant environment prevents this from occurring.
When storing large amounts of expensive wine, security is vital. In addition to climate controls, wine storage facilities include key-card entry, continual surveillance using security cameras, and a private escort to your storage room.
