For optimal storage of white wine (such as a Sauvignon Blanc) maintain a temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C) to preserve delicate fruit and floral aromas and prevent excessive acidity or premature aging. Consistency in temperature is critical avoiding fluctuations that can cause cork expansion/contraction and spoilage.

Store the bottle in a dark environment away from direct sunlight and UV rays as light exposure can degrade the wine and cause it to age prematurely.

Maintain a humidity level between 60-70% to keep the cork moist preventing air from entering and oxidizing the wine. This can be achieved with a wine cellar or specialized wine fridge.

Position the bottle on its side to keep the cork in contact with the wine ensuring it does not dry out and remains sealed effectively.

For an unopened bottle these conditions will preserve the wine’s quality and extend its shelf life. For an opened bottle reseal it tightly with the original cork or a wine stopper and refrigerate at the recommended temperature to slow oxidation; consume within a few days for best quality.

Avoid storing white wine at room temperature or in areas with wide temperature swings such as kitchens or near heating vents which accelerate spoilage.
