For Rémi Landier Capucin Aperitif Francais 18% 75 CL consider the following storage recommendations:

**Unopened Bottles:**

* **Temperature:** Store at a cool consistent temperature ideally between 10°C and 15°C (50°F and 59°F). Avoid significant temperature fluctuations as these can cause the liquid to expand and contract potentially compromising the seal. Do not store in a refrigerator long-term as the consistent cold can dry out natural corks over extended periods.
* **Light Exposure:** Keep bottles away from direct sunlight and strong artificial light. UV rays can degrade the quality of the aperitif leading to oxidation and flavor deterioration. A dark cabinet cellar or dedicated wine cooler is ideal.
* **Sealing:** Ensure the bottle's original seal (cork or screw cap) remains intact and undamaged. For cork-sealed bottles maintaining a consistent humidity level (see below) is crucial to prevent the cork from drying out.
* **Bottle Position:** For cork-sealed bottles store horizontally to keep the cork moist and prevent it from drying out and allowing air ingress. If the bottle has a screw cap it can be stored upright.
* **Humidity:** Maintain a moderate humidity level ideally between 50% and 75%. This is particularly important for cork-sealed bottles to prevent the cork from drying out and shrinking which could lead to oxidation. Too high humidity can encourage mold growth on labels but this is less critical for the liquid itself.
* **Special Tips:** Store away from strong vibrations as these can disturb the liquid and accelerate aging processes. Avoid storing near appliances that generate heat or vibrations.

**Opened Bottles:**

* **Temperature:** Once opened store the bottle in a refrigerator at a consistent temperature typically between 4°C and 7°C (39°F and 45°F). The cooler temperature significantly slows down oxidation.
* **Light Exposure:** Continue to protect the opened bottle from direct light even in the refrigerator.
* **Sealing:** Re-seal the bottle tightly immediately after each use. Use the original screw cap if applicable or a high-quality stopper designed for wine or spirits to minimize air exposure. Vacuum pumps can be used to remove some air further extending freshness.
* **Bottle Position:** Store opened bottles upright in the refrigerator. This minimizes the surface area of the liquid exposed to any remaining air in the bottle and prevents potential leakage if the seal isn't perfect.
* **Humidity:** Humidity is less of a concern for opened refrigerated bottles as the primary goal is to limit oxygen exposure and slow degradation.
* **Special Tips:** Due to its 18% ABV Rémi Landier Capucin Aperitif will last longer than lower-alcohol wines but is still susceptible to oxidation. While it can last for several weeks to a few months in the refrigerator its aromatic complexity will gradually diminish. For optimal enjoyment consume within 2-4 weeks of opening. The higher sugar content in aperitifs can also contribute to a slightly longer shelf life once opened compared to dry wines.
