Storage advice

For storing Sweet White wine such as a 6 Puttonyos Tokaji Aszú the optimal temperature range is approximately 45°F to 55°F (7°C to 13°C) with around 50°F (10°C) being ideal to preserve its delicate flavors and aroma without promoting premature aging.

Store the bottle in a cool dark place away from direct sunlight as light exposure can damage the wine's quality by accelerating chemical reactions.

Keep the bottle sealed tightly with its cork or original closure to prevent oxidation; for opened bottles use a vacuum pump or airtight stopper to minimize contact with air and slow down spoilage.

Store the bottle horizontally if it has a natural cork to ensure the cork remains moist and maintains a good seal preventing air ingress. Bottles with synthetic corks or screw caps can be stored upright.

Maintain a relative humidity around 70% to prevent the cork from drying out and shrinking which would allow air to enter.

Minimize vibrations and temperature fluctuations as they can disturb sediment and accelerate aging negatively.

For opened bottles refrigerate and reseal. Consume within a few days (ideally under a week) to preserve the astringency and complexity of the sweet white wine.

These recommendations help maintain the quality and extend the shelf life of the sweet white wine whether unopened or after opening.
