Storage advice
For optimal storage of schnapps follow these practical recommendations:
- Temperature: Store schnapps in a cool environment ideally between 55°F and 68°F (13°C to 20°C). Avoid refrigeration or freezing as extremely low temperatures can alter the flavor profile and potentially harm the beverage's quality. Room temperature is generally acceptable if kept stable and within this range.
- Light Exposure: Keep schnapps in a dark place away from direct sunlight or UV light. Light exposure can degrade the spirit causing changes in flavor and color due to oxidation processes.
- Sealing: Ensure bottles are tightly sealed when not in use. Oxidation occurs when air enters the bottle which can deteriorate flavor and color. Use the original cap or a proper stopper to minimize air exposure.
- Bottle Position: Always store schnapps bottles upright. Upright storage prevents alcohol from coming into contact with corks or caps which could cause cork deterioration and increase oxidation risk. Unlike wine schnapps should not be stored on their side.
- Humidity: While humidity is more critical for corked wines for schnapps it is less of a concern. Still maintaining moderate humidity helps keep corks in good condition without drying them out if the bottle is cork sealed.
- Additional Tips for Opened Bottles: After opening tightly reseal bottles to reduce oxidation. Store opened bottles under the same conditions as unopened—cool dark and upright—to best preserve quality.
In summary store schnapps in a cool dark place at stable room temperature upright tightly sealed and avoid refrigeration or freezing to maintain optimal quality and shelf life.
