Hi, i keep most of mine wherever i can, as long as you keep an eye on it then it will be fine. Dark wil help to keep the colour of red wines anyway as the sun tends to bleach them.

Mine go in the cupboard under the stairs, out of the way and bubbling gently!

I make the wine so mine is fermenting in the kitchen  :)

4 gallons in PETs and a 5 gal in a big fermenter. It is really noisy with them all burping away
