I just purchased a cheap WineEnthusiast wine cooler w/ compressor. Needed to move a decent amount of bottles, many of which I'm planning on holding onto for many years. To be sure my wine is being well kept, I installed some hygrometers, as to not depend on what the fridge tells me. Thankfully, because, to set it to 55F, I actually had to set the front panel to 64F.
My question lies with the what-feels-like massive swings in temp/humidity. The average being 55F/12C and 68% humidity; however, every hour, it swings from 48F/9C-66F/19C and 16%-88% humidity. The temperature isn't so bad (I think), but the humidity swings are disconcerting.
Should I not worry, since the average seems to be right where it should be? Or should I be concerned with the wide range of the fluctuations? Any info would be appreciated.
