For optimal storage of Sweet Red (a sparkling wine similar to Moscato Rosa):

- Temperature: Store unopened bottles at a consistent cool temperature between 7°C and 13°C (45°F to 55°F). The ideal range is around 10–13°C (50–55°F) to preserve freshness and prevent cork pressure damage. Avoid temperature fluctuations as they can cause cork failure and spoilage.

- Light Exposure: Keep bottles away from direct sunlight and UV rays to prevent degradation of quality and spoilage.

- Sealing: Since this is a sparkling wine sealed with a cork maintain cork moisture by storing bottles in a way that keeps the cork in contact with the wine.

- Bottle Position: Store the bottles on their side or at a slight angle. This keeps the cork moist and airtight reducing oxidation risks.

- Humidity: Maintain humidity between 50% and 85% to keep corks from drying out but avoid excessive humidity that can cause mold.

- Vibrations and Movement: Store in a stable vibration-free environment to prevent disturbing the wine’s delicate balance.

Opened Bottle Storage: After opening sparkling wines like Sweet Red retain best quality for a short time. Close tightly with a sparkling wine stopper and store in the refrigerator at around 4°C (39°F). Consume within 1-3 days to maintain effervescence and flavor.

These practices will help preserve the freshness carbonation and aromatic qualities of the sparkling Sweet Red for both unopened and opened bottles.
