If you're "aging" a bottle of wine on your kitchen wine rack, you're doing it wrong. That's the worst place to store wine. You're exposing it to light, temperature swings and pungent smells. If this is you, find the excuse you've been waiting for. Just open the bottle. When you are actually ready for the 5-10 year commitment of aging wine, do yourself a favor and invest in proper storage. Wine needs darkness, stable temperature, and time, not your kitchen counter image

That kitchen rack really isn't ideal given how sensitive aging wine needs to be from heat and light. I think most of us should just stop overthinking it and finally crack those bottles when we're in the mood for them.
