For optimal storage of White Wine maintain a temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C). This range preserves the wine’s freshness and delicate flavors without risking premature aging. Avoid storing at room temperature or in a regular fridge long-term as temperature fluctuations and excessive cold can damage the cork and affect quality.

Light Exposure: Store the bottle in a dark or dimly lit place away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light to prevent light-induced chemical changes that can degrade aroma and flavor.

Sealing: Ensure the bottle is sealed with its original cork and avoid drying out the cork by minimizing exposure to dry air or storing the bottle upright for too long. Once opened reseal the bottle tightly with a cork or wine stopper and refrigerate to slow oxidation.

Bottle Position: Store the bottle on its side if sealed with a cork to keep the cork moist which prevents it from shrinking and allowing air to enter. For bottles with screw caps bottle position is less critical but a horizontal position can still help save space and stability.

Humidity: Maintain humidity around 60-75% to prevent cork drying and maintain its elasticity which ensures airtight sealing over time. Too low humidity risks cork shrinkage; too high may encourage mold growth on labels but less impact on wine inside.

Additional Tips for Opened Bottles: After opening white wine should be resealed tightly and stored in the refrigerator between 45°F and 50°F. Consume within 2-3 days for best quality as exposure to oxygen will rapidly degrade delicate aromas and flavors.

These guidelines will help preserve both the unopened and opened white wine’s quality and extend its shelf life effectively.
