Storage advice

For unopened white wine store it at a stable temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C) to maintain its crispness and aromatic qualities. Avoid fluctuations in temperature as they can cause premature aging. Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct light especially sunlight because light exposure can degrade the wine. Maintain a humidity level around 60-70% to prevent the cork from drying out and shrinking which could lead to oxidation. Bottle should be stored horizontally to keep the cork moist and sealed properly. Ensure bottles are kept away from strong vibrations or odors.

For opened bottles re-cork tightly or use a vacuum wine stopper to minimize air exposure and refrigerate promptly at about 45-50°F. Consume within 2-4 days for best quality. Avoid long-term storage of opened white wine outside refrigeration.

No special storage deviations are needed for this white wine type beyond these standard white wine storage practices.
