...clear our a closet in your house and build shelves with racks. When your collection outgrows it, move to the next closet. Or keep them in boxes under the house.
A guy I know made an extra bedroom his wine cellar - lined the whole room with racks and put a special cooler in to keep the temperature cool and constant. Most of his parties ended up in there and he'd open some amazing wines. Even had the music piped in.
But to keep the wine in my garage, I needed something to contain it and manage the temp. I don't want to take chances with an expensive collection.
As to what temp and how much range, you'll have to talk to an expert - try a knowledgeable sommelier.
Or you could ask Google, like I did below.
