Storage advice

To optimally store Eau de Vie (specifically fruit-based like Wild Strawberry) focus on maintaining conditions that preserve its delicate qualities and prevent degradation:

- Temperature: Store Eau de Vie at a stable cool temperature ideally between 13°C to 18°C (55°F to 65°F). Avoid temperature fluctuations as these can cause expansion and contraction of the liquid potentially dislodging the closure and allowing oxidation. Extreme cold or heat should be avoided to prevent altering the spirit’s chemical profile.

- Light Exposure: Protect from direct sunlight and strong artificial light to minimize ultraviolet (UV) exposure which can degrade the spirit and negatively affect its aroma and color. Store in a dark place or inside opaque packaging if available.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed with its original closure (usually a cork or screw cap) to limit oxygen exposure. For opened bottles reseal immediately after use to prevent oxidation which can degrade flavor and aroma.

- Bottle Position: Store bottles upright rather than on their side. This minimizes prolonged contact of the liquid with the cork reducing the risk of cork degradation and contamination. Unlike wine spirits have higher alcohol content that can degrade corks if stored horizontally.

- Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity around 50–70%. Excessive humidity can affect labels and cork integrity while too dry conditions may dry out corks if the bottle is sealed with one.

- Special Tips Specific to Eau de Vie:
- For unopened bottles keep them in their original packaging and store in a cool dark stable environment to maximize shelf life.
- For opened bottles consider transferring smaller volumes to smaller bottles to reduce headspace and slow oxidation.
- Avoid storing Eau de Vie in places with frequent temperature or humidity fluctuations such as bathrooms or kitchens.
