Do vibrations affect the proper aging of wines?
Many wine experts believe wine should be stored in a vibration-free environment to ensure proper aging. Improper transportation, excessive handling, and vibrations from heaving motor or foot traffic can stir up the sediment in bottles of wine and compromise the aging process. Constant vibration can produce air bubbles that can oxidize the wine. Hayes Wine Cellar features a fleet of climate- and vibration-controlled vehicles to properly transport bottles, cases, and collections of wine. Prior to pick-up and delivery, our expert crating and packing team will select the proper shipping materials to ensure the safe transport and delivery of your wine in an effort to reduce vibration. By storing your wine collection at Hayes Wine Cellar, household vibrations caused by foot traffic and routine handling will be greatly diminished.
