No matter whether you&#8217;re a wine enthusiast with a small collection, or a restaurant looking for some extra storage space for your wine overstock, The Lock Up has you covered. We have wine storage facilities in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/storage-services\/wine-storage\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chicago, Florida, and New Jersey<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and each of them are perfectly outfitted to preserve your vino and let it age beautifully.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each of the Lock Up wine storage cellars have spared no expense to ensure that your bottles are stored in the utmost perfect conditions. Addressing all of the elements that experts agree make for good wine storage, we&#8217;ve created environments that any sommelier would covet.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Temperature<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fluctuating temperatures can alter a wine&#8217;s aroma and flavor, so we have installed modern, exacting refrigeration equipment to protect your collection. Each facility has dedicated refrigeration equipment that&#8217;s separate from the main heating\/cooling equipment to keep the wine cellars at a consistent temperature averaging 55 degrees. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Humidity<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like temperature, humidity can affect your wine. This is why we also have advance, dedicated humidity control systems that maintain ideal relative humidity levels between 60-70%. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This prevents the corks from becoming distorted or drying out.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Lighting<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wine should be stored away from harmful UV rays. Direct UV lighting can create unstable reactions within the compounds of the wine. This is why we have motion sensitive lighting that only turns on when necessary, limiting the amount of light your bottles are exposed to.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Storing<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wine bottles should be kept on their side; this prevents the cork from drying out. Bottles should also be stored in areas that are free of vibrations which could disturb the delicate sediments. Our wine storage racks account for this.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Environment<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cork in a wine bottle does not provide a complete seal. The wine actually \u201cbreathes\u201d through the cork. This is why it is important to maintain a closed environment, one that is free off exposure to smells and odors.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Lock Up Wine Cellars have storage areas that can accommodate a small collection of a few bottles, to over 500. Here&#8217;s a handy chart to help you figure out how much storage space you&#8217;ll need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/storage-services\/wine-storage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5154\" src=\"http:\/\/3.146.49.248\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2017-06-05-at-3.51.41-PM-241x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2017-06-05-at-3.51.41-PM-241x300.png 241w, https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2017-06-05-at-3.51.41-PM-768x957.png 768w, https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2017-06-05-at-3.51.41-PM-822x1024.png 822w, https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2017-06-05-at-3.51.41-PM-696x867.png 696w, https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2017-06-05-at-3.51.41-PM-1068x1331.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2017-06-05-at-3.51.41-PM-337x420.png 337w, https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2017-06-05-at-3.51.41-PM.png 1358w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re looking for a safe, secure, perfect environment to store your wine collection, visit <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/storage-services\/wine-storage\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/storage-services\/wine-storage<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to learn more and secure yours today!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Lock Up Wine Cellar storage is the perfect environment for your fine wine collection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":3375,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,8,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5153","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-general-resources","category-storage-tips","category-uncategorized"],"aioseo_notices":[],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5153"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5153\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9480,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5153\/revisions\/9480"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3375"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelockup.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
