Storage advice

For optimal storage of the white wine:

- Temperature: Store unopened bottles at a consistent temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C) to preserve freshness and delicate flavors. Avoid fluctuations that can damage the wine and cork.

- Light Exposure: Keep bottles in a dark environment away from direct sunlight or artificial light to prevent degradation and premature aging.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is properly sealed with an intact cork to prevent oxygen ingress which causes spoilage. Avoid long-term storage in a refrigerator since it can dry out the cork.

- Bottle Position: Store bottles horizontally so the wine stays in contact with the cork keeping it moist and airtight.

- Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity (around 60-70%) to keep corks from drying out or molding.

- Opened Bottle Storage: Once opened reseal tightly and keep refrigerated at around 45°F (7°C). Consume the opened white wine within 3-5 days to maintain quality as oxidation begins once opened.

No special storage considerations beyond typical white wine best practices are required for this beverage type.
