For optimal storage of White Wine (such as Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023 150cl):

- Temperature: Store at a consistent cool temperature around 45-50°F (7-10°C). This helps preserve crispness and aroma while preventing premature aging. Avoid temperatures below 45°F as too cold slows aging excessively and avoid above 55°F to prevent fast oxidation.
- Humidity: Maintain relative humidity between 60-70% to keep the cork moist. This prevents cork drying shrinkage and air ingress that can spoil the wine.
- Light Exposure: Store away from direct sunlight and UV rays. A dark place or wine cellar with no light exposure is ideal as UV radiation breaks down wine and accelerates aging.
- Sealing: Keep the original cork intact. For opened bottles re-cork tightly or use a vacuum wine stopper to limit oxygen exposure and oxidation.
- Bottle Position: Store bottles horizontally to keep the cork in contact with the wine maintaining cork moisture and preventing air entry.
- Additional Tips: Avoid temperature fluctuations; rapid changes cause cork expansion/contraction and risk spoilage. Use a wine fridge or dedicated wine cellar if possible to ensure stable conditions.

For unopened bottles follow the above conditions strictly. After opening store white wine in the refrigerator (around 40°F/4°C) with a proper seal and consume within a few days to maintain quality.
