In this paper we present a study of an exciton system where electrons and holes are confined in double quantum well structures. The dominating interaction between excitons in such systems is a dipole - dipole repulsion. We show that the tail of this interaction leads to a strong correlation between excitons and substantially affects the behavior of the system. Making use of qualitative arguments and estimates we develop a picture of the exciton - exciton correlations in the whole region of temperature and concentration where excitons exist. It appears that at low concentration degeneracy of the excitons is accompanied with strong multi-particle correlation so that the system cannot be considered as a gas. At high concentration the repulsion suppresses the quantum degeneracy down to temperatures that could be much lower than in a Bose gas with contact interaction. We calculate the blue shift of the exciton luminescence line which is a sensitive tool to observe the exciton - exciton correlations.
