For optimal storage of white wine:

- Temperature: Store white wine between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C). This temperature range preserves its freshness and delicate flavors without premature aging.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light to prevent light damage and oxidation.
- Sealing: Ensure the cork remains moist and airtight. Avoid long-term storage in standard refrigerators for unopened bottles as dry air can shrink the cork letting air in.
- Bottle Position: Store the bottle on its side to keep the cork in contact with the wine preventing it from drying out and allowing an airtight seal.
- Humidity: Maintain humidity around 70% to keep the cork hydrated and prevent it from leaking or shrinking[No direct source but standard wine storage practice].
- Special Tips: Avoid temperature fluctuations to prevent premature aging and spoilage. For fuller-bodied white wines slightly warmer storage within this range is acceptable.
- Opened Bottles: Once opened reseal tightly with the original cork or a wine stopper and store it in the refrigerator. Consume within 2-3 days to preserve quality[No direct source but common wine preservation advice].
