For storage of White Wine (such as Pinot Grigio) the following practical recommendations optimize quality and shelf life:

- Temperature: Store at a consistent cool temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C). Pinot Grigio being a light and crisp white wine should be kept closer to the lower end (around 45°F) to preserve its freshness. Avoid temperature fluctuations to prevent premature aging and cork failure.

- Light Exposure: Keep bottles away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light which can cause premature aging and degrade flavor compounds. Store wine in a dark place or inside a closed wine fridge designed to block UV light.

- Sealing: Ensure the cork or screw cap is tight and intact. For unopened bottles this prevents oxidation. For opened bottles reseal tightly using the original cork or a wine stopper to minimize air exposure. Consider vacuum pumps or inert gas preservation systems if available.

- Bottle Position: Store bottles on their side if sealed with cork to keep the cork moist preventing it from drying out and allowing air ingress. For screw caps storing upright is acceptable but lying flat is also fine.

- Humidity: Maintain a relative humidity of 50-70% to prevent cork drying (too low) or mold growth (too high). This is especially important where bottles are stored for longer periods.

- Additional Tips:
- Avoid storing white wine in a regular refrigerator for long-term as the low humidity and vibrations can harm the wine. Refrigerate only short-term prior to serving.
- For opened bottles consume within 2-3 days for best quality keeping them resealed and refrigerated.
- Avoid storing near strong odors which can permeate the cork and affect flavor.

These practices will help preserve the delicate aromas and crispness typical of white wines like Pinot Grigio.
