Displaying wine

[ez2cy]

I have all my wine in storage in basement on side, in rack.

I have a nice display rack in dining room where the bottles stand upright. I know the corks need to be moist but wondering how long I could display a few bottles in the upright rack and then rotate them. I like to have wines there that I'm not going to drink for awhile.

Any thoughts on length of time to keep wine upright before putting back on it's side?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

I would think that a couple of months wouldn't hurt but the constant swings in temperature would probably be far worse. If and when I display anything is is uber cheap wine or better yet I will save a bottle of something I really enjoyed and display that.

I Agree,

I would display empties. Good wine deserves respect and should be stored correctly.
