To optimally store Champagne maintain a constant temperature between 10°C and 12°C (50°F to 54°F) avoiding any fluctuations that can damage the wine by causing the cork to expand and contract.

Keep the Champagne in a dark place away from direct light as light exposure can degrade the wine and affect flavors.

Humidity should be controlled around 60% to 70% which keeps the cork moist to prevent it from drying out and shrinking thereby avoiding oxidation or leakage. Too high humidity can cause mold on the cork and label; too low can dry out the cork.

Store the bottle horizontally to ensure the cork remains in contact with the wine keeping it moist and airtight.

Avoid vibrations and strong odors as they can prematurely age the Champagne or affect its quality.

For an unopened bottle maintain these conditions to preserve freshness and aging potential. For an opened bottle reseal tightly with a sparkling wine stopper and refrigerate; consume within 1-3 days to best maintain effervescence and flavor.

Using a wine fridge with humidity and temperature control is an optimal solution to easily maintain these parameters.
