To refrigerate (6°C (42°F)) or not to refrigerate (23~25°C (73.4~77°F))?

Hello, I'd like to know which is better out of the two options for long-term wine storage? A refrigerator working at 6°C or moderately light-protected corner of the floor in a room that will probably be at about 25°C (if not more) this summer. If there's any difference between wine types' storage I'd like to know that too. The wines in question are red, White, Sparkling (Champagne and Prosecco FWIW) and Rose. I do know neither option is a good one, but no other arrangement can be made.\ Thanks
