Storage advice

For storing red wine such as a Pinot Noir:

- Temperature: Maintain a consistent temperature between 55°F and 60°F (13°C to 16°C) ideal for lighter reds like Pinot Noir. Avoid fluctuations as temperature swings accelerate aging and spoilage.

- Light Exposure: Store in a dark place away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light which can degrade wine quality and cause off-flavors.

- Sealing: Keep the bottle's original cork moist by storing the bottle on its side preventing cork shrinkage and oxidation.

- Bottle Position: Store bottles horizontally to maintain cork moisture and seal integrity.

- Humidity: Aim for about 75% humidity to prevent cork drying without encouraging mold growth.

- Additional Tips: Store unopened bottles in a cool stable environment away from heat sources such as kitchen appliances or direct heat vents. For opened bottles reseal tightly with the cork or a wine stopper and refrigerate; consume within a few days to maintain quality.

These conditions will best preserve the wine's quality and extend its shelf life.
