The Correct Way to Store Wine Bottles
- 1). Store wine in a location that receives little to no light. UV rays from the sun can affect the wine's quality.
- 2). Keep wine in a temperature controlled location that does not exceed 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Temperatures warmer than that can cause the wine to spoil, and temperatures less than that can slow down the aging of the wine.
- 3). Keep the storage location you have chosen free from light. UV rays can harm the quality of the wine.
- 4). Store wine at a humidity of no greater than 80 percent. This keeps the cork moist from the outside.
- 5). Position wine bottles on their sides rather than upright to keep the cork moist from the inside.
