Storage advice
For optimal storage of red wine maintain a consistent temperature between 55°F and 65°F (12°C to 18°C) ideally around 55°F (13°C to 15°C) to preserve the wine’s quality without aging it prematurely. Avoid temperatures above 70°F or below 45°F as extreme heat or chill can damage the wine.
Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight and fluorescent lighting. UV rays can degrade wine by breaking down aromatic compounds so store reds in a wine cellar wine fridge or a cupboard where light exposure is minimal.
Seal integrity is crucial: the cork should remain moist to prevent air ingress which spoils the wine. Maintain relative humidity between 50% and 70% to keep corks from drying out. Use a humidifier or dehumidifier as needed to control humidity and also to prevent mold or label damage.
Store bottles on their sides to keep wine in contact with the cork ensuring it stays moist and airtight. Avoid storing bottles upright for long periods which can cause cork shrinkage and oxidation.
For opened bottles refrigeration (~40°F to 45°F) slows oxidation and preserves the wine’s flavor longer. Bring the wine to serving temperature (around 60–65°F) shortly before consumption.
Avoid vibrations temperature fluctuations and strong odors around stored red wine as these factors negatively affect its quality over time.
