For optimal storage of white wine such as Pinot Grigio:

- Temperature: Store unopened bottles at a consistent temperature between 42°F and 45°F (6-7°C) on the cooler side of the white wine range to preserve delicate aromas and freshness. Avoid temperature fluctuations as they can damage the wine. For opened bottles refrigerate immediately at similar temperatures and consume within 3-5 days.

- Light Exposure: Keep the wine in a dark environment away from direct sunlight or UV light which can prematurely age or spoil the wine.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is kept tightly sealed with the original cork or a proper wine stopper to minimize oxidation.

- Bottle Position: Store bottles on their sides which keeps the cork moist and prevents air ingress that could oxidize the wine.

- Humidity: Maintain storage humidity in the range of 50-70% relative humidity ideally around 60% to keep corks from drying out and maintain the seal integrity.

- Additional Tips: Use a dedicated wine fridge or a cool dark storage area with stable temperature and humidity conditions. For opened bottles minimize air contact by using vacuum plugs or inert gas preservation systems if available.

This combination will help preserve the quality and extend the shelf life of the white wine before and after opening.
