For optimal storage of dry white wine like Verdejo maintain a temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7–10°C) to preserve its crispness and delicate aromas avoiding temperatures above 55°F which may accelerate aging or spoilage. Consistency is crucial; avoid fluctuations that cause expansion and contraction which can damage the cork.

Store the bottles horizontally to keep the cork moist and ensure a good seal preventing air ingress that leads to oxidation. Maintain humidity levels around 60–70% to avoid cork drying; too low humidity causes cork shrinkage and spoilage while too high humidity risks mold.

Keep the wine away from direct light and UV exposure ideally in a dark environment or a wine fridge/cellar without windows to prevent premature aging and chemical breakdown.

For unopened bottles ensure storage at consistent temperature and humidity in a dark vibration-free place preferably in a wine refrigerator or a cool cellar.

For opened bottles reseal tightly with the original cork or a dedicated wine stopper and store in the refrigerator at around 45°F to slow oxidation. Consume within 2–3 days for best quality. Avoid leaving opened white wine at room temperature for extended periods.

In summary:

- Temperature: 45–50°F (7–10°C) consistent
- Humidity: 60–70% to keep cork moist
- Light: Store away from direct and UV light
- Bottle position: Lay horizontally to preserve cork moisture
- Opened bottle: Reseal refrigerate consume within a few days

These storage conditions will help preserve the quality and shelf life of dry white wine like Verdejo.
