For storing White Wine optimally:

- Temperature: Store at a consistent temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C) which helps maintain the wine’s freshness and delicate flavors. Slightly cooler temperatures (around 42°F to 45°F) are suitable for lighter or crisper whites such as Sauvignon Blanc while fuller-bodied whites may tolerate temperatures up to 50–55°F (10–13°C).

- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct light sources especially sunlight or fluorescent lighting which can degrade the wine by causing premature aging.

- Sealing: For unopened bottles ensure the natural cork or screw cap is fully intact to prevent oxidation. For opened bottles use a vacuum wine stopper or inert gas wine preservation system to minimize air contact and preserve quality for up to 3–5 days.

- Bottle Position: Store bottles horizontally if sealed with a cork to keep the cork moist preventing it from drying out and allowing oxygen ingress. If the bottle has a screw cap the position is less critical but horizontal storage is still practical for efficient space use.

- Humidity: Maintain humidity at around 60–70% to keep corks from drying out which protects the seal and prevents oxidation.

- Additional Tips: Avoid temperature fluctuations and vibrations as these can negatively affect the wine’s aging and stability. Whether unopened or opened place White Wine in a cool stable environment such as a dedicated wine fridge or a cool cellar.
