For optimal storage of white wine:

- Temperature: Store unopened bottles between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C) to maintain freshness and proper aging. Avoid fluctuations; a steady temperature is essential to prevent premature aging or spoilage.

- Light Exposure: Keep the wine in a dark place as exposure to UV light can degrade the wine quality and cause premature aging.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is properly sealed with its original cork to prevent oxidation while allowing minimal oxygen exchange. Avoid long-term storage if the cork shows signs of damage.

- Bottle Position: Store bottles horizontally to keep the cork moist which preserves its integrity and prevents air ingress.

- Humidity: Maintain a humidity level around 70% to prevent the cork from drying out or mold growth on the cork surface. Avoid overly dry or wet environments.

- Special Storage Tips for White Wine: Do not store white wine for long periods in a standard refrigerator because it can dry out the cork and cause premature aging. Instead use a wine fridge or a cool controlled environment. Once opened reseal the bottle with its cork or a wine stopper and consume within 3-5 days; refrigerate the opened bottle to preserve quality.
