Storage advice

For optimal storage of an Eau de Vie such as one made from quince several practical environmental factors should be considered to preserve its quality and shelf life:

- Temperature: Store the bottle at a consistent cool temperature ideally between 15 and 20°C (59-68°F). Avoid extremes of heat or cold as excessive heat can accelerate evaporation and degrade the spirit’s flavor while freezing temperatures might risk expansion damage to the bottle or cork sealing.

- Light Exposure: Protect from direct sunlight and strong artificial light. Ultraviolet (UV) rays can chemically alter the spirit diminishing its quality. Keep the bottle in a dark place or inside opaque containers or boxes to shield from light exposure.

- Sealing: Make sure the bottle’s seal or cork is tight and intact. A good seal prevents oxidation which can spoil or flatten Eau de Vie’s delicate flavors over time. For opened bottles re-cork immediately and consider using airtight stoppers if possible.

- Bottle Position: Always store the bottle in an upright position. Unlike wine Eau de Vie has a higher alcohol content that can degrade corks if stored horizontally leading to leakage and oxidation.

- Humidity: Maintain a moderate humidity level ideally around 55% to 75%. Too low humidity can dry out corks causing them to shrink; too high humidity encourages mold growth on the exterior. This range helps preserve the cork’s moisture and integrity without encouraging spoilage.

- Additional Tips:
- Unopened bottles are best kept in their original packaging (box) to provide an extra layer of protection from light and temperature fluctuations.
- For opened bottles limit air exposure by filling the bottle as full as possible before resealing which reduces oxidation risk.
- Avoid storing Eau de Vie in areas prone to temperature swings and humidity fluctuations such as bathrooms or kitchens—opt for cool dry and stable environments like a dedicated liquor cabinet or cellar.

Following these guidelines will help ensure your Eau de Vie maintains its intended quality and freshness for years.
