I would like to move some of my everyday drinking wines from my 55 degree storage unit to my closet storage space which usually stays about 65-68 degrees

QUESTION:

Perhaps someone here can help me. I Have a small temperature controlled storage unit which holds about 60 bottles. Over time it has filled to capacity. I also have a small storage area under my staircase where I now store any wine that doesn't fit into the temperature controlled unit. I would like to move some of my everyday drinking wines from my 55 degree storage unit to my closet storage space which usually stays about 65-68 degrees, to make room for some new bottles that merit longer aging. My question is, will I damage any wines that have been stored for a year or two at 55 degrees, to my 65 degree storage area?

ANSWER:

I wouldn't worry about it. 65 degrees is still a pretty wine-friendly cellar temperature. Besides, aren't those wines in the "on deck" area? You'll be drinking them soon anyway.
