Storage advice
For optimal storage of white wine:
- Temperature: Store between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C) to maintain freshness and preserve delicate aromas. Fuller-bodied whites like Chardonnay can be stored closer to the upper end (~53°F) but avoid exceeding 55°F.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight and UV light as light can deteriorate the wine.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is properly sealed with its original cork to prevent oxidation. Avoid drying out the cork by not storing the wine too long in a standard refrigerator.
- Bottle Position: Store the bottle on its side to keep the cork moist preventing shrinkage and air entry.
- Humidity: Maintain humidity around 60-70% to avoid cork drying.
- Opened Bottles: Once opened reseal tightly (using original cork or a wine stopper) and store in the refrigerator at about 45°F; consume within 3-5 days to preserve quality.
These conditions help preserve the white wine’s quality flavor and aroma over time.
