Storage advice

For storing White Wine specifically a fuller-bodied white like Chardonnay follow these practical guidelines:

- Optimal Temperature: Store unopened bottles at a consistent temperature between 45°F and 53°F (7°C to 12°C). Fuller-bodied whites such as Chardonnay thrive around 50–53°F to preserve their aromas without accelerating aging.

- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light as light can degrade wine quality and cause premature aging.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is well-sealed with its original cork. Avoid storing bottles where corks can dry out which causes air ingress and oxidation. Do not store white wine in a regular refrigerator for long periods as it can dry the cork.

- Bottle Position: Store bottles horizontally to keep the cork moist from contact with the wine preventing cork shrinkage and air exposure.

- Humidity: Maintain a humidity level around 70% to keep corks from drying out while avoiding mold growth.

- Temperature Stability: Avoid fluctuations in temperature as expansion and contraction can compromise the seal and accelerate spoilage.

- For Opened Bottles: After opening reseal tightly with the cork or a vacuum stopper and refrigerate ideally consuming within 2-3 days to maintain freshness. Keep the bottle upright when opened to minimize surface area exposed to air.

These conditions will best preserve the quality and shelf life of your white wine both unopened and after opening.
