Storage advice
For optimal storage of Eau de Vie (a ginger-based spirit in a 35cl bottle) here are detailed practical recommendations covering temperature light sealing bottle position humidity and special considerations for both unopened and opened bottles:
- Temperature: Store Eau de Vie in a cool environment ideally between 10°C and 21°C (50°F to 70°F). Avoid temperature fluctuations and heat sources such as direct sunlight stoves or warm appliances as heat can degrade the alcohol and flavor compounds.
- Light Exposure: Protect the bottle from direct and strong light especially sunlight and fluorescent light which can cause chemical reactions that deteriorate the spirit’s quality. If the bottle is clear glass keep it in a dark cupboard or wrapped in a material to shield light exposure.
- Sealing: Keep the bottle tightly sealed with its original cap or cork to prevent oxidation and evaporation. Once opened ensure the cap is securely screwed on or the cork firmly replaced to minimize air contact which can alter taste and reduce shelf life.
- Bottle Position: Store the bottle upright to prevent prolonged contact between the spirit and the cap or cork reducing the risk of contamination or cork degradation. Upright storage also avoids leaks if the seal is imperfect.
- Humidity: Humidity is less critical for Eau de Vie than for wines or cork-sealed wines but a moderately dry environment (around 50-70% relative humidity) helps maintain the bottle’s sealing materials in good condition without encouraging mold growth.
- Special Tips for Unopened Bottles: Store unopened bottles in a stable cool dark place away from vibrations and heat to preserve their quality for years without significant change.
- Special Tips for Opened Bottles: After opening oxidation can gradually affect flavor. To prolong freshness minimize the volume of air inside by transferring the remaining spirit to a smaller bottle if consumption will be slow or consume within 1-2 years for best quality.
These storage guidelines focus on preserving Eau de Vie’s quality aroma and shelf life by controlling environmental factors and handling precautions typical for distilled spirits made with ginger infusion.
