For optimal storage of white wine maintain a consistent temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C–10°C) to preserve its freshness and delicate flavors. Avoid temperature fluctuations which can spoil the wine by expanding and contracting the liquid and cork.

Store the bottles in a dark place away from direct sunlight to prevent UV light from degrading the wine’s quality. A cool dim cellar or a dedicated wine refrigerator is ideal.

Keep the bottles sealed tightly ideally with their original cork or screw cap to avoid oxidation. If opened reseal promptly using a wine stopper or vacuum pump and refrigerate; consume within a few days to maintain quality.

Store bottles horizontally if sealed with cork to keep the cork moist preventing it from drying out and letting air in. Bottles with screw caps can be stored upright.

Maintain moderate humidity around 60–70% to keep corks from drying without promoting mold growth.

Avoid long-term storage in a standard refrigerator as it can dry out corks and cause premature aging.

In summary preserve white wine by storage in a stable cool (45–50°F) dark moderately humid environment; sealed tightly; horizontally positioned if corked; and promptly refrigerated and sealed after opening.
