Wine
Storage
Temperature
Wine
should be stored at between 10 to 14 degree Celsius.
The ideal cellar temperature would be a constant 12 degrees Celsius.
Excessive warmth will age the wine prematurely.
Humidity
Storing
wine between 70-75% will ensure that the cork will not dry up.
Too much humidity will damage labels.
Quiet
The
chosen storage place should be quiet and free from vibrations.
Light
Cellar
must be dark, as light is harmful to the proper evolution of
wine.
Smells
Cellar
should not contain anything that has a strong smell (kerosene,
onions) as these smells could be imparted to the wine.
Organisation
Red
wine on top so as to protect the whites below from eventual light.
The wines are stored horizontally to ensure that the corks do
not dry up.
