Storage advice

For optimal storage of Cognac including both unopened and opened bottles observe the following practical recommendations:

- Temperature: Store Cognac in a cool and stable environment ideally between 15°C and 20°C (59°F to 68°F). Avoid temperature extremes and fluctuations as heat can cause the spirit to expand potentially damaging the cork and altering flavor while cold can dull the aromas.

- Light Exposure: Keep Cognac away from direct light especially sunlight and ultraviolet rays which can degrade the quality and cause premature aging. A dark place such as a cellar or a cabinet with no light exposure is ideal.

- Sealing: Cognac bottles should be kept upright at all times to prevent the high alcohol content from degrading the cork if it comes into contact with the liquid. Maintaining the cork’s integrity is important to avoid oxidation and contamination. Ensure that the original cork or cap is tightly sealed and if opened reseal immediately after pouring to limit air exposure.

- Bottle Position: Always store bottles upright rather than on their side to minimize interaction between the spirit and cork which could otherwise compromise the seal and flavor.

- Humidity: Maintain a moderate humidity level of about 50-70% to preserve the cork condition. Too low humidity risks drying out the cork while excessive humidity (over 80%) can damage labels and potentially cause mold. Stable humidity helps prevent cork shrinkage and ensures a good seal.

- Additional Tips:
- Avoid storing Cognac near appliances or areas with vibrations as movement can accelerate chemical reactions and impact aging or flavor consistency.
- For opened bottles minimize air contact by sealing carefully as prolonged exposure to oxygen can degrade the Cognac’s quality over time.

By following these guidelines you will best preserve the quality and shelf life of your Cognac.
