Storage advice
For optimal storage of white wine maintain a consistent temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C) to preserve its freshness and aromatic profile. Avoid fluctuations in temperature as they can degrade the wine quality over time.
Store the bottle away from direct light preferably in a dark environment since light exposure can lead to premature aging and flavor deterioration.
Keep the bottle sealed with its original cork to prevent oxidation. Once opened re-cork tightly or use a vacuum stopper and consume within a few days to preserve freshness.
Store the bottle on its side to keep the cork moist and airtight which slows oxidation and aging.
Maintain moderate humidity around 60-70% to prevent the cork from drying out and shrinking which could allow air to enter the bottle and spoil the wine.
Avoid storing white wine in a regular refrigerator for extended periods as this can dry the cork and accelerate aging. Use a dedicated wine fridge or a cool stable storage area instead.
