Storage advice

For optimal storage of Eau de Vie particularly one infused with delicate ingredients such as pink garlic adhere to the following practical guidelines:

- Temperature: Store the bottle at a stable cool temperature ideally between 13°C and 18°C (55°F to 65°F). Avoid temperature fluctuations that can cause expansion and contraction which may dislodge the seal or impact quality.

- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle away from direct sunlight and UV rays which can degrade the spirit’s compounds and alter its sensory profile. A dark cupboard or a shaded storage space is recommended.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed with its original stopper or cap to minimize oxidation and evaporation. Once opened reseal promptly after use to prolong shelf life.

- Bottle Position: Store bottles upright rather than on their side. Unlike wines spirits such as Eau de Vie contain high alcohol content that can degrade corks if kept in contact for extended periods risking seepage or leakage[general knowledge].

- Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity around 50-70%. Excessive humidity can damage labels and packaging but has less direct impact on the spirit itself. Avoid damp locations like bathrooms where moisture fluctuates.

- Special Considerations for Opened Bottles: Once opened keep the bottle sealed tightly and store in the same cool dark conditions. The spirit will slowly oxidize with air exposure potentially altering flavor over several months to years depending on the spirit strength and storage quality.

Following these storage recommendations ensures the preservation of the Eau de Vie’s quality and longevity both unopened and after opening.
