Storage advice

For optimal storage of white wine:

- Temperature: Store unopened bottles consistently between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C). Avoid temperature fluctuations as they can prematurely age the wine. If the wine is sparkling keep it at the colder end around 40°F to 45°F (4°C to 7°C).

- Light exposure: Keep bottles in a dark environment away from direct sunlight and UV rays which can degrade the wine's quality.

- Sealing: Maintain the cork's moisture by storing wine in an environment with relative humidity between 50% and 70% ideally around 60% to prevent cork drying and oxidation.

- Bottle position: Store bottles on their side to keep the cork in contact with the wine helping prevent cork shrinkage and maintaining an airtight seal.

- Humidity: Maintain humidity at about 60% within the 50-70% range to protect cork integrity and prevent oxidation.

- Additional storage considerations:

- For unopened bottles keep them in a stable environment as described above.

- For opened bottles reseal tightly with the original cork or a specialized wine stopper and store them in the refrigerator at about 45°F (7°C). Consume within a few days to maintain freshness due to increased oxidation risk after opening.

These conditions will best preserve the delicate aromas and flavors of the white wine maintaining quality and extending shelf life.
