For optimal storage of white wine in a 150cl bottle keep the temperature consistently between 45°F and 55°F (7°C to 13°C) with a general target around 50°F to maintain delicate aromas without aging prematurely. Avoid temperature fluctuations as they cause expansion and contraction that can damage the cork and spoil the wine.

Store the bottle horizontally to keep the cork moist and airtight preventing oxidation. Relative humidity should be maintained between 60% and 70%; this prevents the cork from drying out and air from entering the bottle.

Avoid exposure to light especially UV rays. Store the bottle in a cool dark place without windows or direct sunlight to prevent premature aging and degradation of wine quality.

Ensure proper sealing by checking the cork integrity before storage; if opened recork the bottle tightly or use a vacuum wine stopper to minimize oxygen exposure and consume within a few days for best quality.

Maintain a stable environment with good air quality and ventilation to reduce musty odors and mold that could affect the cork and wine.

In summary:

- Temperature: 45–55°F (7–13°C) stable
- Humidity: 60–70% relative humidity
- Position: Store horizontally
- Light: Keep in complete darkness or very low light
- Sealing: Use original cork; if opened seal tightly or vacuum stopper
- Environment: Well-ventilated odor-free storage space

These conditions ensure the white wine retains optimal freshness and longevity both unopened and after opening.
