Storage advice
For optimal storage of white wine:
- Temperature: Store unopened bottles consistently between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C). Avoid fluctuations to prevent premature aging.

- Bottle Position: Store bottles on their side to keep the cork moist and prevent it from shrinking which maintains a proper seal.
- Humidity: Maintain a moderate humidity level around 70% which prevents corks from drying out or molding.
- Special Tips for White Wine: Avoid long-term storage in a household refrigerator as it can dry out corks and cause unwanted aging; use a proper wine fridge or a cool consistently temperate environment instead. For opened bottles consume within a few days keeping them refrigerated and sealed tightly.
These practices help preserve the wine’s freshness acidity and delicate aromas.
