Where to cellar your wine

Cave art and temperate zones: the best way to age wine gracefully - FT.com: "Working out where to store wine should be straightforward: avoid direct sunlight, excess heat or cold and fluctuations in temperature. Which means never keep wine in the kitchen, convenient as it might be to have bottles to hand. Dry air harms wine, so humidity should be above 50 per cent (and ideally about 70 per cent); and if you are storing for decades, vibrations are to be avoided as they may harm the wine.
Alternatively, you can pay someone to keep your wine in exemplary conditions and advise you on what to drink when. If you are buying as an investment, this makes sense."
