For optimal storage of Wine Vinegar:

- Temperature: Store at cool stable room temperature ideally between 10–20°C (50–68°F). Refrigeration is not necessary and offers no benefit as the acidic nature preserves it well.

- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight. Exposure to light can degrade quality over time.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed with its original cap or an airtight closure immediately after each use to minimize oxidation and preserve flavor.

- Bottle Position: Store the bottle upright rather than on its side. This prevents prolonged contact of vinegar with the closure which could degrade the seal and affect quality.

- Humidity: Normal ambient humidity is fine. Avoid excessively damp environments that might encourage mold on the bottle exterior or label though the vinegar itself is self-preserving due to its acidity.

- Special Storage Tips: Use glass or non-reactive containers for storage. Plastic or metal containers can react with the acidity. Avoid introducing water or contaminants into the bottle to prevent quality changes.

For unopened bottles keep them sealed and stored as above; they maintain quality for several years past the "best by" date.

For opened bottles reseal tightly after each use and keep stored in a cool dark place. The vinegar’s acidity prevents spoilage so it can last indefinitely though flavor and aroma might slowly degrade over years.
