Wine is usually kept in cellars, so as to maintain a constant temperature etc. etc.
This is fine if you live in a proper house with proper wine cellars but unfortunately some people choose to live in sub-standard accommodation, lacking such essentials as wine cellars, servants' staircases, and stables.
Then
they put their wine in a wine rack or shelf in the kitchen or living room where it suffers swings of temperature etc.
However logic dictates that it is likely that some place inside or outside of the building will approximate an appropriate temperature etc. at any given time.
Therefore the solution is obvious. Mount the wine rack on wheels, give it a basic navigation and temperature sensors, and let it roam around the house seeking the perfect conditions for its cargo.
