For optimal storage of 0 (Inniskillin Niagara Vidal Sparkling Icewine 2022 37.5cl) follow these detailed practical recommendations:

- Temperature: Store unopened bottles at a steady cool temperature between 10–12°C (50–54°F) for long-term aging which slows the aging process while preserving quality. Short-term storage around 12–15°C is also acceptable but less ideal for extended aging. For opened bottles refrigerate at 3–8°C (37–46°F) and consume within 5 to 7 days.

- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark or low-light environment to prevent light damage which can degrade the wine’s delicate components.

- Sealing: If unopened ensure the cork remains moist by storing the bottle on its side. This prevents the cork from drying out and allowing air ingress. After opening reseal with the original cork or a suitable wine stopper and keep refrigerated upright to minimize oxidation.

- Bottle Position: Store unopened bottles lying down to keep the cork wetted by the wine maintaining a proper seal. Opened bottles should be stored upright to reduce surface area exposure to air.

- Humidity: Maintain relative humidity between 65–75% to prevent cork drying which could compromise the seal and quality of the wine.

- Additional Tips:

- Avoid frequent temperature fluctuations and vibrations as both can accelerate aging improperly and spoil the wine.

- For sparkling icewine gentle handling is advised to preserve carbonation and avoid agitation damage.

- Labeling the purchase date can help track aging progress if storing long-term.

These practices will help maintain the sparkling icewine's quality balance and shelf life whether stored unopened for years or briefly after opening.
