Yes, you can keep wine in the garage, but we would recommend using a wine fridge to store your bottles rather than leaving them stacked at risk of exposure to temperature, humidity and movement risks.
Garages are often big spaces for storing sports equipment, through to last year’s Christmas decorations.
If you intend to store wine in your garage because you do not have space for a kitchen or pantry racking, you will want to make a conscious effort to store the wine correctly.
One thing worth noting here is that the way you store wine in your garage will significantly depend on what type of wine you have selected.
What's more, you want to make sure that the wine you are storing in your garage is out the way of any direct sunlight.
You can keep wine in the garage but take care to store it safely out of the way of light, smells and vibrations.
Can You Keep a Wine Fridge In the Garage?
Yes, you can keep a wine fridge in the garage. We sell a whole range of purpose designed garage wine fridges with in built heating elements so they can be used even if temperatures drop to minus figures!
Any wine fridge you use in the garage must be fitted with a feature called 'winter function' without this, your wines will get very cold in the winter as a traditional wine fridge only contains a compressor - to keep conditions cool.
