To bring out the best qualities of bottled wine, it is essential that you provide the best possible storage conditions.
1. Keep the wine away from direct sunlight and strong flourescent light.
2. The wine should be stored in a consistent temperature range of 12 – 18 degrees Celsius (54 – 64 degrees F.) with the lower end of the range preferred. Avoid rapid fluctuations in temperature (no more than 3 – 4 degress Celsius over a year) as this will cause premature oxidation and flavour deterioration. If you cannot store your wine in this temperature range, it is best not to age your wine for long periods. Storing wine at above 20 degrees Celsius (68 degress F.) over time actually damages the taste and aroma, particularly in lighter bodied white and red wines.
3. Maintain a relative humidity range of 50 – 80 %.
4. Keep vibration and movement to a minimum.
5. Invest in proper wine storage units or in a true wine preservation system.
