Wine
Storage
Designed for Proper Aging
Security Public Storage offers climate-controlled wine storage in Napa to help protect your collection from temperature swings, light, and vibration.
Why Proper Wine Storage Matters
Temperature changes can cause wine to age too quickly or unevenly.
Heat and light exposure can damage flavor and aroma over time.
- Vibration and movement can cause uneven aging and reduced flavor.
Dry conditions can affect cork integrity and lead to oxidation.
The Right Wine Storage Temperature
Proper storage temperature plays a critical role in preserving wine quality and supporting proper aging. Excessive heat is one of the most common causes of wine damage. Temperatures above 70°F can cause wine to age too quickly, resulting in flat aromas and muted flavors.
Why 55°F Matters
55°F is widely considered the ideal wine storage temperature
Helps slow the aging process and preserve flavor and aroma
Suitable for both red and white wines, regardless of serving temperature
Storage vs. Serving Temperature
Red and white wines are often served at different temperatures, but storage temperature is not the same as serving temperature.
Red wines may need time to warm slightly or be decanted before serving
White wines may need to be chilled after removal from storage
Storing both at 55°F helps prevent premature aging and quality loss
