Sunlight can kill a bottle of wine both by heat and by UV rays that break down the wine's structure.
While dark-colored green or brown bottles do provide some protection, clearer bottles used for many white wines are at high risk for UV damage.
However, the darker bottles intensify heat absorbed from direct sunlight, and constant daily fluctuations of even a few degrees can be damaging
So do us all a favour, use a temperature controlled wine fridge and...Save your wine!
