How to store your wine.

How to store your wine:

Most wine sold in stores is sold to drink now. Not all wine gets better with age. This is a myth that most people believe to be truth.

If you so desire you can store your wine for several years with no loss of quality if you follow a few rules:

Keep it cool.
Store your wine out of direct sunlight.
Heat is bad for your wine.
If your wine has a cork, store your wine on its side to keep the cork moist.
If it’s white wine drink it within two years.
If it’s red wine drink it within four years.

When you open your wine if it’s red I recommend drinking the entire bottle within two days. After two days the quality really starts to diminish. If it is white keep it cold and two days max for the best quality.

These are good rules to ensure that the quality of your wine is as the wine maker intended.

Until next time. Drink more wine.
