Proper wine storage is essential for maintaining the quality and flavor of wine. Ideally, wine should be stored in a cool, dark place with a consistent temperature, typically between 45°F and 65°F (7°C to 18°C). Humidity levels should be around 50-70% to prevent corks from drying out, which can lead to oxidation. Wine bottles should be stored horizontally to keep the cork moist and prevent air from entering the bottle. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and vibrations, as these can negatively impact the aging process. Using a dedicated wine cellar or wine fridge can help create the perfect environment for your collection.
