Storage advice
Store white wine at a consistent temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C) to maintain its crispness and aromatic integrity; avoid fluctuations that could cause premature aging.
Keep the bottle away from direct light preferably in a dark place or a wine cellar to prevent light exposure that can degrade the wine's quality.
Seal the bottle tightly; for unopened bottles preserve the original cork which helps maintain proper oxygen exchange. For opened bottles reseal with a wine stopper or vacuum seal to limit air contact and preserve freshness.
Store the bottle horizontally if it has a cork to keep the cork moist and prevent it from drying out and shrinking which can cause oxidation; if the bottle has a screw cap position is less critical but horizontal storage is still acceptable.
Maintain a humidity level of around 70% to prevent cork drying; too low humidity can cause cork shrinkage and air ingress while excessive humidity can promote mold growth.
For opened bottles consume within 2-3 days when refrigerated resealed to minimize oxidation.
Special tip: Avoid storing white wine in a standard refrigerator for long periods as its low humidity can dry out the cork; use a dedicated wine fridge or cool dark cellar instead.
