Storage advice

For storing white wine optimal conditions are:

- Temperature: Maintain a consistent temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C). This cooler range preserves the wine's freshness and prevents premature aging. Avoid frequent temperature fluctuations to protect the cork and prevent oxidation.

- Light exposure: Store the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light which can degrade the wine and affect its flavor.

- Bottle position: Store bottles on their side to keep the cork moist and airtight. This prevents the cork from drying out and allows proper sealing.

- Sealing: Ensure the original cork or high-quality closure is intact to avoid oxygen entry. For opened bottles reseal with a wine stopper to minimize air exposure.

- Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity around 60-70% to keep corks supple. Too dry an environment risks cork shrinkage; too humid can encourage mold.

- Special storage tips:
- Avoid storing white wine in a standard refrigerator for long periods as it may dry out the cork and age the wine prematurely.
- If opened white wine should be refrigerated and consumed within 3-5 days to maintain quality. Reseal tightly.
- Use a dedicated wine fridge or a cool dark cabinet with stable temperature and humidity for the best results.
