For storing white wine maintain an optimal temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C) to preserve its freshness acidity and delicate flavors. Cooler temperatures prevent premature aging and maintain the wine’s crispness.

Avoid temperature fluctuations to prevent cork shrinkage and oxidation that can spoil the wine. Stable temperature is crucial for long-term quality.

Keep the wine away from direct light especially sunlight or strong artificial light which can degrade the wine by causing premature aging and “lightstruck” off-flavors.

Store bottles horizontally to keep the cork moist and airtight preventing oxidation by ensuring a tight seal.

Maintain humidity around 60-70% to keep corks from drying out and shrinking which helps preserve the seal and prevents air ingress.

For unopened bottles use a wine fridge or a cool dark cellar that meets the above conditions for temperature humidity and light protection.

For opened bottles reseal immediately with a proper wine stopper or vacuum pump and store refrigerated at about 45°F to slow oxidation. Consume within 3-5 days for best quality.

Avoid storing white wine for extended periods in a regular refrigerator as the low humidity can dry out corks and the temperature can fluctuate too much potentially damaging the wine.
