Wine Storage Tips
Horizontal Storage
Store wine bottles on their side to keep the cork moist and prevent oxidation.
Humidity Control
Maintain consistent humidity levels between 50-80% to preserve cork integrity.
Light & Vibration
Keep wine away from direct sunlight and vibration to prevent premature aging.
Serving Temperature
White wines and sparkling wines are best enjoyed chilled, while reds should be served at cellar temperature.
Note: Spirits and fortified wines should not be stored in wine coolers as they require different conditions.
