Storage advice
For optimal storage of red wine:
- Temperature: Maintain a consistent cool temperature between 55°F and 65°F (13°C to 18°C). Avoid fluctuations and do not exceed 70°F to prevent premature aging.
- Light Exposure: Store the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light as light can degrade the wine and alter its flavors.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle remains properly sealed with its original cork if unopened. For opened bottles reseal tightly with a cork wine stopper or vacuum seal to reduce oxidation.
- Bottle Position: Store the bottle on its side to keep the cork moist preventing it from shrinking and allowing air in.
- Humidity: Maintain relative humidity around 60-70% to prevent cork drying and shrinkage which can spoil the seal.
- Special Tips for Opened Bottles: Once opened red wine can be stored in the refrigerator at around 40-45°F (4-7°C) to slow oxidation. Before serving allow the wine to warm up to the ideal drinking temperature (about 60-65°F) by taking it out of refrigeration 20-30 minutes prior.
Following these guidelines will help preserve the quality and extend the shelf life of the red wine.
