Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to store wine?
The best way to store wine involves maintaining a consistent environment where the temperature, humidity, and light exposure are carefully controlled. Ideally, wine should be stored at a stable temperature of 12°C to 16°C (depending on collection), with humidity levels around 60% to prevent the cork from drying out.

It’s also crucial to store wine bottles horizontally, particularly those with corks, to keep the cork moist and sealed. A dedicated wine cellar or a climate-controlled wine fridge offers the most reliable conditions, shielding your collection from fluctuations in temperature and light that could compromise its quality over time.
What is the storage requirement for wine?
Wine storage requires a carefully controlled environment to preserve its quality and enhance its ageing potential. The key requirements include maintaining a stable temperature, ideally between 12°C and 16°C, and a humidity level of around 60%. Additionally, wines should be stored away from direct light, especially sunlight, as UV rays can degrade the wine’s flavour and aroma.

Proper ventilation is also important to prevent the growth of mould and to eliminate strong odours that could permeate the cork. A well-designed wine cellar or a specialised wine fridge is ideal for meeting these storage needs.
How long can you store red wine?
The storage duration for red wine can vary significantly depending on the type of wine and its quality. Generally, many red wines are designed to age gracefully and can be stored for several years, with some fine wines maturing beautifully over decades. For example, a robust Bordeaux or Barolo might improve over 10 to 20 years, while lighter reds like Pinot Noir or Beaujolais are often best enjoyed within 3 to 5 years.

It’s essential to store red wine in ideal conditions, with consistent temperature and humidity, to ensure it reaches its full potential during ageing.
Why is humidity control important for wine storage?
Humidity control is crucial for wine storage as it directly impacts the condition of the cork, which in turn affects the wine’s preservation. If the humidity level is too low, the cork can dry out and shrink, allowing air to seep into the bottle and oxidise the wine, leading to spoilage. It can also lead to wine evaporation, a horrible conclusion to the wine process!

On the other hand, excessive humidity can encourage the growth of mould on the cork and label, potentially compromising the wine’s integrity. Maintaining an ideal humidity level of 60% ensures that the cork remains intact, keeping the wine properly sealed and preserved over time.
Why is temperature control important for wine storage?
Temperature control is vital in wine storage because fluctuations can significantly impact the wine’s ageing process and overall quality. If the storage temperature is too high, the wine may age prematurely, causing it to lose its delicate balance of flavours and aromas. Conversely, storing wine at too low a temperature can slow down the maturation process, leading to a wine that is overly tannic or lacks complexity.
