Storage advice

For optimal storage of Cognac including both unopened and opened bottles adhere to the following detailed guidelines:

- Temperature: Store Cognac in a cool environment ideally between 15-20°C (59-68°F). Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or fluctuations as heat can cause expansion that damages seals and corks while cold can dull flavors.

- Light Exposure: Keep bottles in a dark place away from direct sunlight and UV light as light can degrade the Cognac’s quality over time.

- Sealing: Ensure that bottles are tightly sealed with the original cork or stopper. When unopened the cork prevents air exposure; once opened re-sealing securely is vital to slow oxidation and preserve quality.

- Bottle Position: Store Cognac upright rather than on its side. Upright storage prevents the high-alcohol liquid from prolonged contact with the cork which can degrade the cork and negatively affect the spirit.

- Humidity: Maintain a moderate humidity level around 50-70%. This helps keep the cork from drying out thus preserving its sealing ability without causing label damage or mold growth.

- Stability: Place bottles in a vibration-free environment to avoid agitation which can accelerate unwanted chemical reactions that diminish Cognac’s quality.

- Special Tips for Opened Bottles: Once opened Cognac will slowly oxidize. To extend shelf life keep the bottle tightly sealed and store it in the same ideal environment. For precious bottles consider decanting smaller amounts for consumption while keeping the bulk securely stored.

By following these practical recommendations the Cognac will retain its quality flavor and aroma integrity over time whether unopened or once opened.
