Storage advice
For optimal storage of the white wine:
- Temperature: Store unopened bottles consistently between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C) to maintain freshness and prevent premature aging. Avoid fluctuations as they can damage the cork and cause oxidation.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottles in a dark environment to protect the wine from UV light which can degrade its quality.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is properly sealed with its original cork. For opened bottles use a vacuum wine stopper or inert gas wine preserver to minimize oxidation.
- Bottle Position: Store bottles horizontally so the wine remains in contact with the cork preventing it from drying out and shrinking which can lead to air entering the bottle.
- Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity around 70% to keep corks moist and airtight but avoid excess humidity that can promote mold growth.
- Special tips: For long-term storage use a dedicated wine cooler or wine cellar that can hold the ideal temperature and humidity levels. Once opened consume white wine within 3-5 days if resealed properly and keep it refrigerated at about 45°F to preserve quality. Avoid storing opened bottles in regular refrigerators for extended times as dry conditions can harm the cork.
