Storage advice

For storing red wine maintain a consistent temperature ideally between 55°F and 65°F (13°C to 18°C) with the lower end preferable for lighter-bodied reds like Pinot Noir. Avoid temperature fluctuations as these can prematurely age the wine or mute its qualities.

Store the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight and fluorescent lighting as UV exposure degrades wine by breaking down aroma and flavor compounds.

Maintain humidity between 50% and 70% to keep the cork from drying out and shrinking. This prevents oxidation and spoilage. Use a humidifier in dry environments or a dehumidifier in excessively humid places to control this.

Keep the bottle lying on its side. This keeps the cork moist by contact with the wine preventing air ingress.

For unopened bottles avoid areas with vibration or strong odors which can negatively affect aging and taste integrity.

Once opened seal the bottle with a proper wine stopper or vacuum seal to limit oxygen exposure. Store opened red wine in the refrigerator and consume it within 3 to 5 days for best preservation.

Special consideration for the 150cl (magnum) bottle size: the larger volume generally extends aging potential and slows oxidation after opening but the above storage principles still apply to ensure optimal preservation of quality.
