Does the cooling and re-storing do the wine any harm? Our wine rack is not in a cool area of the house
I can speak with considerable experience. No, it does not. I keep a full-size fridge dedicated to white wine. Not one of those pricey, humidity-controlled models designed for cellaring wine; I mean the simple fridge kind where you store milk, eggs and last week’s Chinese-takeout leftovers. Mainly I use it to chill bottles that I need to taste for review purposes , but frequently I make room for white wines from my cellar that I intend to pour when friends come to dinner.
Most people think that it’s the temperature fluctuation itself that does that damage. Not so, unless you heat the wine so high that you actually cook it, which leads to stewed flavours. The main concern is with the fluid’s expansion and contraction. As you cool the wine, it wants to contract, pulling in air through the cork or even through the screw cap . When you warm it back up, the liquid expands, pushing air out the same way it came in. Think of it like breathing.
