For optimal storage of the white wine maintain a temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C). This range preserves its freshness and delicate flavors especially important for longer-term storage. Avoid temperature fluctuations as they can accelerate aging and degrade quality.

Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct light as light exposure especially UV rays can cause premature aging and spoil the wine.

Store the bottle lying down horizontally if it has a natural cork to keep the cork moist and prevent air ingress. If the bottle is sealed with a screw cap position is less critical; however horizontal storage still saves space and keeps sediment settled.

Maintain humidity around 60-70% to keep the cork from drying out and shrinking which could allow oxygen to enter and spoil the wine.

For an opened bottle reseal it tightly with the original cork or a wine stopper and refrigerate immediately. Use within 2-3 days to preserve flavor and aromatic integrity.

Avoid storing the wine in a regular household refrigerator for long periods as it can dry out the cork but short-term chilling (just before serving) at around 45°F-50°F is recommended.

In summary:

- Temperature: 45-50°F (7-10°C)
- Light: Keep in darkness avoid UV exposure
- Position: Horizontal (especially for cork-sealed bottles)
- Humidity: 60-70%
- Opened bottle: Reseal and refrigerate consume within 2-3 days
- Avoid long-term storage in standard refrigerator

These measures will best preserve the quality and extend the shelf life of your white wine.
