For optimal storage of Wine Vinegar:

- Temperature: Store at a cool temperature ideally between 10°C and 21°C (50°F to 70°F) avoiding heat sources such as stoves or ovens.

- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place or a cupboard away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation of quality.

- Sealing: Always ensure the bottle is tightly sealed immediately after use to minimize oxygen exposure which can cause cloudiness or flavor changes.

- Bottle Position: Store the bottle upright to reduce vinegar contact with the cap and prevent leakage or contamination.

- Humidity: Normal household humidity is sufficient; excess moisture is not a significant concern but avoid overly damp conditions that might affect labels or caps.

- Special Storage Tips: Use glass or other non-reactive containers for storage; avoid metal containers that can react with the acidity. There is no need to refrigerate either unopened or opened bottles as vinegar’s high acidity makes it self-preserving and resistant to spoilage.

- Opened Bottle Considerations: Over time harmless vinegar bacteria may cause cloudiness but this does not affect safety or quality. If sediment or cloudiness occurs straining through a coffee filter can clarify the vinegar.

These measures will maintain the vinegar’s quality and flavor for years without special refrigeration or complex conditions.
