Storage Of Unopened Red Wine

I have a case of red wine in my apartment (on the third floor). For the next few days, the temperature is supposed to be up into the 90's. I have two choices...keep the wine in my air-conditioned bedroom, which will be around 75 degrees F, or in the refridgerator. Which is the lesser of two evils? Thank you, Laura

Muscat And Muscadine Grape Relationship?

We recently had a person from Peru and Europe tasting wines, one of which was a Carlos (muscadine) wine. She was very excited when she tasted the Carlos wine and said that it smelled and tasted like wine which is popular in Peru (from a grape we call "Isabella" in the US) and also like the Moscato wine she had had in Italy (from the Moscato grape.) Is there a genetic relationship between these three grape varieties?
