Wine storage

Wine storage involves keeping bottles in a controlled environment to preserve their quality and enhance aging. Ideal conditions include a cool (around 55°F), consistent temperature, high humidity (around 70%), and minimal light exposure. Bottles should be stored horizontal to keep the cork moist, preventing air from entering and spoiling the wine. A stable, vibration-free space helps maintain delicate compounds' integrity. Avoid storing wine near strong odors or in areas with temperature fluctuations, as these can negatively impact flavor and maturation. Proper storage ensures wine remains fresh and develops complexity over time.
