Storage advice

For optimal storage of the sparkling white beverage:

- Temperature: Store unopened bottles at a consistent cool temperature ideally between 40°F and 50°F (4°C to 10°C) to best preserve freshness and bubbles. Avoid common fridge temperatures near 35°F (2°C) that can dull flavor.

- Light Exposure: Keep bottles in a dark environment to prevent exposure to UV rays which can cause undesirable off-odors (light strike).

- Sealing: Unopened bottles rely on their original cork seal; however once opened re-cork with a sparkling wine stopper or a specialized airtight closure to preserve carbonation.

- Bottle Position: Store horizontally if unopened to keep the cork moist and airtight; after opening bottles can be stored upright to reduce oxidation risk.

- Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity around 50-85% to prevent cork drying and shrinking but avoid excessive humidity which can cause mold growth on corks.

- Vibration: Keep bottles in a vibration-free environment such as a dedicated wine fridge or cellar. Avoid frequent movement or storing in a regular refrigerator where items are regularly moved.

- After Opening: Seal with a sparkling wine stopper and store immediately in a refrigerator at cooler temperatures (near 38°F/3°C) to maintain bubbles and slow oxidation. Consume within 1-3 days for best quality.

These conditions will help preserve the beverage’s carbonation freshness and integrity both unopened and after opening.
