Storage advice
For white wine store unopened bottles at a consistent temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C) to preserve freshness and delicate flavors with Sauvignon Blanc ideally closer to 45°F. Avoid temperature fluctuations as they can cause cork damage and premature aging.
Keep the bottles in a dark place away from direct sunlight and strong artificial light to prevent UV damage that can degrade the wine. Maintain a humidity level around 70% to keep corks from drying out and to prevent oxidation.
Store bottles horizontally to keep the cork moist preventing air from entering the bottle.
For opened bottles reseal tightly with the original cork or a specialized wine stopper and refrigerate promptly at around 45°F. Consume within 3-5 days to maintain quality as exposure to oxygen will gradually degrade the wine's characteristics.
Avoid storing white wine in a regular household refrigerator for long periods unopened as its low humidity can dry out the cork. Instead use a dedicated wine fridge or a cool dark storage space with controlled temperature and humidity.
