How should wine be stored?
For long term storage wine, the temperature should be cool and constant, between 10-15°C. Long periods of refrigeration result in a hardened cork which turns the wine stale and sparkling wines lose their fizz. Wines (with cork) should be stored on their side to keep the cork moist or else it will dry out and the wine will be oxidized. Wine should be stored away from strong light as this might cause unpleasant flavours in some wine and always undisturbed – away from vibrations.
