Storage advice
For optimal storage of white wine maintain a consistent temperature between 45°F and 55°F (7°C to 13°C) ideally around 50°F (10°C to 12°C) to preserve delicate aromas and flavors without accelerating aging or causing acidity changes. Avoid temperature fluctuations which can expand and contract the wine potentially dislodging the cork and leading to oxidation.
Humidity should be kept between 60% and 70% to prevent corks from drying out and to avoid air entering the bottle which would spoil the wine.
Light exposure must be minimized; store bottles in a dark environment away from UV rays which degrade the wine and cause premature aging.
Keep bottles lying on their side to keep the cork moist and maintain a proper seal which reduces the risk of oxidation.
For sealing the original cork closure is best maintained by proper humidity and position. Once opened white wine should be resealed with the original cork or a vacuum wine stopper and stored in the refrigerator at around 45°F (7°C) to slow oxidation; consumption within 3-5 days is recommended for best quality.
Avoid rapid temperature changes exposure to vibrations and areas with strong odors to protect the wine’s integrity.
