If his wine ended up at 70deg, does it mean that his entire collection went up in smoke?

I'm not a wine drinker so I do not have much idea at what temperature wine starts breaking down or what the ideal temperature it should be stored at. Anyone?

For couple days, 70F shouldn't be a problem at all. Remember that most wine shops aren't refrigerated, and who knows what the wine might have experienced between the winery and the retailer.

It should definitely be stored at a temperature lower than that, but I have a hard time imagining it going bad because it was outside the ideal temp window for a few days.
