Now that the holidays are over we are all too familiar with the dilemma of wine storage. We know you and your colleagues, bosses, friends, family, etc. all exchange bottles of wine as gifts of appreciation. Now, although you do look forward to eventually drinking all of those bottles of wine, you need a place to store all of these wine bottles. Often times we see people purchasing wine from their local grocery store, completely oblivious of how to properly store the wine to make sure it lasts as long as possible.
What is the best way to store bottles of wine? There are several important points to consider when storing wine. The first is to store the wine in a dark place, away from sunlight and fluorescent fixtures. Next, store the wine in a place where the temperature does not fluctuate. The greater the change in temperature a wine suffers, the greater the premature aging of the wine. Also, be sure to isolate the wine. Keep in mind that wine breathes so do not store it with anything that has a strong odor as it will penetrate the cork and affect the taste of the wine. Another of the most important aspects of storing wine is to be sure to store corked bottles on their sides. If wine is stored upright for too long of a period of time the cork can dry out, and air will eventually get to the wine and spoil it. Lastly, you want to store the wine in such a manner that you do not need to move the wine at all. Choose wine storage that will enable you to choose a bottle of wine without disturbing the others.
