The cellar will not be a storage facility to the wine lovers and collectors, but rather a haven where the good wine will age and find its way to its full potential. Nevertheless, this setting presents certain special challenges, and humidity is one of the most consistent threats. One of the most common mistakes is paying attention to temperature only and forgetting about the necessity of moisture resistance of very structures in which you store your collection. Learning about the importance of moisture resistance can turn a fine old object into an expensive failure.
The Hidden Challenge of Cellar Humidity
Cellars are humid natural places. It is this water in the atmosphere that helps in ensuring that corks do not dry up and weaken the seal on our bottles. However, the very humidity turns out to be a silent enemy of the furniture and racks in the space. Ambient moisture may be absorbed by ordinary storage solutions that are not designed to handle such conditions. In the long run, this causes expansion of materials, warping and reduction in structural integrity. A damaged wine rack is a dangerous thing as it can be unstable and even collapse, but it can also serve as a habitat of mold and mildew. Such contaminants are then passed on to your bottles where they destroy labels and in extreme cases, they impact on the environment of the wine. Consequently, the initial defense in preserving the cellar is the investment in the storage which is designed to resist the weather it is placed in.
How Moisture Directly Impacts Your Wine Collection
Non-resistant rack has far reaching consequences that create a first hand threat to your investment, and that is the furniture itself. The constant dampness may make the paper labels peel, become blurred or even moldy thus reducing the value of the bottle and your identification capabilities. Worse still, moisture may facilitate rusting of metal fittings or rotting of untreated woods, which may emit unpleasant smells that could be easily absorbed by the surrounding air in the cellar. Although good cork is expected to keep the liquid inside safe, the general appearance and storage facilities add to the story and long life of the wine. The moldy or stunted rack will form an unsound and unsanitary atmosphere, which will ruin the pains you take to keep the climate of your wines under control.
