Storage advice
For storing white wine optimally:
- Temperature: Maintain a steady temperature between 45°F and 55°F (7°C to 13°C). This range preserves the delicate aromas and freshness typical of white wines and prevents premature aging or loss of bouquet.
- Light Exposure: Store in a dark place with minimal to no light exposure especially avoiding direct sunlight and UV rays which can degrade wine quality and cause early spoilage.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is sealed with an intact cork. Proper humidity levels help keep the cork moist and airtight.
- Bottle Position: Keep bottles lying on their side to keep the cork in contact with the wine preventing the cork from drying out and air ingress.
- Humidity: Maintain relative humidity between 60% and 70%. This prevents cork drying and shrinkage which can lead to oxidation.
- Special Storage Tips:
- Avoid temperature fluctuations as they cause cork movement and potential oxidation.
- Ensure good air circulation but avoid strong odors near the storage as corks can absorb smells potentially affecting the wine.
For opened bottles of white wine:
- Re-seal tightly using the original cork or a wine stopper.
- Store upright in a refrigerated environment around 45°F (7°C) to best preserve freshness.
- Consume within 2-3 days for optimal quality; white wines oxidize more quickly once opened.
These measures will help preserve the white wine’s freshness aroma and quality both before and after opening.
