I had a temp controller malfunction and it got my ferment room / wine cellar up to 87 degrees. I have nothing fermenting but I do have bottled wine stored in there..... did I do any damage? I have no idea how long but no more than just today.
 
If your wine was in a rack out of sunlight 66-72F since corking I am guessing each bottle still held no more than 78 F. Temps vary 3 ° from 6" to 36" from ground level. If 24hrs. was the max I think you will be good,

Yeah.. in the dark at 60 degrees and a relay or something melted and kept the heat running.
