Storage advice
For optimal storage of Tsipouro including both unopened and opened bottles the following practical recommendations apply:
- Temperature: Store Tsipouro at a stable cool temperature ideally between 12°C and 18°C (54°F - 65°F). Avoid temperature fluctuations to preserve its delicate aromas and alcohol integrity. Lower temperatures before consumption (e.g. refrigeration) are fine but long-term storage should be at moderate cellar temperatures.
- Light Exposure: Protect the bottle from direct sunlight and strong artificial light. UV light can degrade the spirit’s quality and alter its flavor profile over time even though Tsipouro is distilled with care to preserve aromas.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed with the original cap or cork to prevent evaporation and oxidation. Oxygen ingress can negatively affect the spirit’s quality particularly after opening.
- Bottle Position: Store the bottle upright rather than on its side. Since Tsipouro is a distilled spirit with relatively high alcohol content and no cork-soaking requirements upright storage prevents prolonged contact of the liquid with the closure which might degrade caps or corks over time.
- Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity around 50-70% to protect the bottle label and closure integrity if corked. Extremely dry conditions can dry out corks while very high humidity may damage labels but does not affect the spirit itself.
- Special Storage Tips for Tsipouro: Because Tsipouro is typically a clear distillate often kept in stainless steel tanks before bottling it generally does not benefit from long barrel aging once bottled (unless it is an aged variety). Therefore after bottling it should be treated like a high-quality clear spirit and stored in a cool dark place away from temperature swings and air exposure.
- Opened Bottle Considerations: After opening reseal tightly and store in the same cool dark conditions. Try to consume within a reasonable timeframe (a few months) to avoid slow oxidation which may diminish the freshness and aromatic quality.
These guidelines help maintain the quality and shelf life of Tsipouro ensuring that both unopened and opened bottles remain enjoyable over time.
