To optimally store Tequila Blanco and preserve its quality and shelf life adhere to the following practical guidelines:

- Temperature: Store tequila in a stable cool environment ideally between 55°F and 65°F (13°C to 18°C). Temperatures lower than this range are not mandatory and refrigeration or freezing is discouraged as it can alter flavor and texture. Avoid fluctuations to maintain consistency.

- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight or artificial light sources. Light negatively affects the tequila's quality over time by accelerating degradation.

- Sealing: For unopened bottles the factory seal and cork maintain quality indefinitely when stored properly. Once opened always ensure the cap or cork is tightly sealed to minimize oxidation and flavor loss. If a large portion of the bottle is consumed transferring tequila to a smaller airtight container will reduce air exposure.

- Bottle Position: Always store tequila upright never on its side. Unlike wine sideways storage can cause the alcohol to come into contact with the cork potentially deteriorating it and affecting the spirit's quality.

- Humidity: Moderate room humidity is sufficient. There are no strict humidity requirements but avoid extremely dry or excessively humid environments that might harm the cork integrity or label condition.

- Special Tips:
- Do not refrigerate or freeze tequila as lower temperatures can cause separation of compounds and a thick or syrupy texture.
- Opened bottles should ideally be consumed within 6 to 12 months for best flavor.

By following these recommendations—cool dark upright storage with a tight seal—you will best preserve the flavor and quality of both unopened and opened Tequila Blanco bottles over time.
