Vibration — yes, it's real
Matters for years, not for weeks. Long-term vibration disturbs sediment and accelerates chemical reactions inside the bottle. It mostly matters for age-worthy wines stored years.
Sources of constant vibration: kitchen refrigerator motor, washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, large speakers, heavy footsteps on creaky floors above.
If you're storing wines for under a year, vibration is the least of your worries. For 5+ year holding, find a still spot.
