Wine storage in refrigerator vs room temperature (75-80F)

Hi,

I just began to delve into world of wines and so far it's been a pleasant journey! I'm trying out some not too expensive wines for now (~$30 range) and was wondering what would be the best way to store my wines.

I live in a small place so I don't intend to get a wind fridge for the time being, and I was wondering if it's better to store the wines in the pantry or the refrigerator. I know neither are optimal conditions for long-term storage, but I only intend to keep them for short-term (3 months at most)

I think during winter time when the room temperature comes down to around 60F it's pretty good to just store wines in my pantry, but right now the weather is pretty hot and I was wondering what would be the best way. Thank you!

+) Oh also, could it be that it's better to store red wines in the pantry and whites in the fridge?
