For storing white wine especially a fuller-bodied variety such as Chardonnay:

- Temperature: Maintain a consistent storage temperature between 50°F and 55°F (10–13°C) to preserve its rich textures and aromas. Avoid temperatures that are too warm or too cold as fluctuations can degrade quality.

- Light exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light which can cause premature aging and spoil flavors.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle’s original cork or closure is intact and properly sealed to prevent oxidation and contamination.

- Bottle position: Store the bottle lying on its side to keep the cork moist which prevents the cork from drying out and air from entering.

- Humidity: Maintain a relative humidity of around 70% to prevent cork shrinkage and dryness.

- Unopened bottle considerations: Store unopened bottles in a stable environment with minimal temperature and humidity fluctuations.

- Opened bottle considerations: After opening re-seal with the original cork or a suitable wine stopper and store the bottle in the refrigerator at about 45–50°F (7–10°C). Consume within 2-3 days for optimal quality.

These practices will help maintain the white wine’s structure aroma and freshness for both short-term and longer-term storage.
