Wine storage?

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place or not but what are the best conditions for storing wine??

Dark dry and cool. Like a basement not the attic because that has heat which produced moisture and a lot of heat.
Also for wine to taste like it should. You need to open it and let it stand for about 5 minutes to incorporate air. Also let it sit your wine glass for a little to get more air.

I just got a wine cooler as a wedding gift.. I'll get the owners manual in the morning. Heading to bed soon & need to hunt down where it went. Gives a nice list of good temps to store the wine based on type & color.
Okay sorry its a bit late in the day, woke at noon & had some things to do. Found the list.
43º-45ºF =
†¢ Dessert wine/Ice wine
†¢ Champagne/Sparkling wine
47º-50ºF =
†¢ Light whites (e.g., Riesling, Chablis, Chardonnay)
54ºF =
†¢ Beaujolais/Rosé
50º-55ºF =
†¢ General storage
†¢ All wines white and red
57ºF =
†¢ Juicy and fruity wines
†¢ Madeira/Tawny Port
59ºF =
†¢ Chianti, Zinfindel, Valpolicella
61ºF =
†¢ Rioja, Pinot Noir
63ºF =
†¢ Burgundy, Cabernet, Merlot
64ºF =
†¢ Bordeaux/Shiraz
66ºF =
†¢ Vintage Port
& there you go the cooling that my cooler suggests for those types of wines :) Hope this helps you out some.
