A summer evening with a bottle of wine, delicious. But how do you best store wine and any leftovers?
1. Store wine horizontally
By storing wine horizontally, you prevent the cork from drying out. If the cork dries out, air will get to your wine more easily and that will not improve the quality. When wine is lying down, the cork stays moist and your wine stays tasty for as long as possible.
2. Do not shake wine bottles
Let your wine rest as much as possible. It is better not to pick up the wine bottles continuously to check the label, but make sure you store the bottles in such a way that you can see the label at a glance. You can also label bottles.
3. Do not store wine in the sun
The wine cellar concept does not exist for nothing. Exposure to light can affect your wine. Store your bottles in as dark a room as possible and ensure a cool temperature without temperature fluctuations.
4. Be careful with odors
Strong odors can permeate your wine. So do not store the wine near strongly scented products.
5. This is how you store a wine bottle that is already open
Store opened wine bottles in the refrigerator. To keep the wine good for a little longer, you can use a vacuum pump to seal the wine.
