Question: do I need to be concerned about what a lower humidity level will do to the wines in my wine frig?
Background: I store about 100 bottles in a fairly standard, no frills wine frig. This frig does not have any sort of humidity control. The frig is in our basement - about the only place it can go in our house. We run a dehumidifier down there in the summer, and here in the upper Midwest the whole house gets a bit drier in the winter. (We have a humidifier on the furnace but it still gets dry relatively speaking.) I mostly store 3-5 year old CA cabs, and will likely drink them in 1-3 years. I am not one of those folks who buys nice Bordeaux’s and has the patience or room to sit on them for 10-20 years. Do I need to be concerned about any humidity impact on the bottles in the frig?
