The wizard of wines

Article Abstract:

Serving wines aboard sailboats is part of the enjoyment and relaxation expected when sailing. However, there are certain considerations when taking wine aboard boats such as storage and temperature. It is fortunate that good storage is at 55 degrees since most ocean temperatures fall in this range.
