For optimal storage of white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc:

- Temperature: Store unopened bottles at a consistent temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C) ideally closer to 47°F to preserve delicate aromas and freshness. Avoid fluctuations which can degrade the wine quality.

- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle away from direct light especially sunlight and strong artificial light to prevent premature aging and flavor deterioration. Store in a dim or dark place.

- Sealing: Ensure the cork or closure remains intact and moist to avoid air ingress. Avoid long-term storage in a conventional refrigerator as it can dry out the cork.

- Bottle Position: Store bottles lying on their side to keep the cork moist and airtight preventing oxidation.

- Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity (around 60-70%) to prevent cork drying while avoiding mold growth in the storage environment.

- Opened Bottles: After opening reseal tightly (using the original cork or a wine stopper) and keep refrigerated (around 45°F) to slow oxidation. Consume within 2-3 days for best quality.

No specific exceptions are generally noted for Sauvignon Blanc compared to other white wines; maintaining cool steady temperature low light appropriate humidity and good sealing are fundamental.
