Storage advice
For optimal storage of Eau de Vie (blackcurrant eau-de-vie) ensure the following practical conditions:
- Temperature: Store at a cool stable temperature ideally between 10–16°C (50–61°F). Avoid warm or fluctuating temperatures as heat accelerates evaporation and oxidation while fluctuations can dislodge the cork seal and degrade quality.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle away from direct sunlight and strong artificial light to prevent UV damage which can alter flavor and quality. A dark cupboard or cellar is preferred.
- Sealing: Make sure the bottle is tightly sealed with its original cork or cap to prevent air ingress and evaporation. For opened bottles consider resealing promptly and avoiding prolonged exposure to air.
- Bottle Position: Store bottles upright to minimize cork contact with the spirit which helps avoid cork degradation and potential contamination. Unlike wine liquor stored upright preserves the seal and quality better.
- Humidity: Maintain relative humidity around 60–70% to avoid cork drying or swelling. Too high humidity risks cork mold and label damage; too low can dry out corks leading to leaks.
- Additional Tips: Store in a consistent environment avoiding places with frequent temperature or humidity changes such as bathrooms. For opened bottles storing in a cool dark place with a tightly fitted cap or stopper helps prolong shelf life.
These conditions will best preserve the quality and longevity of both unopened and opened Eau de Vie bottles.
