Wine Storage Do's and Don'ts.

Wine begins to spoil the moment it is opened. While short term

exposure to oxygen or "breathing the wine" can open the aromas

and flavours of various red wines, any contact with oxygen

before opening a bottle and its all over, down the sink.











When the wine is in an upright position as many are at your

local liquor store for months and sometime years, the drying out

of the cork will have disastrous effects due to oxidation. So

try to buy wines that are stored lying down, or as becoming more

popular, screw caped bottles.











Keep your wine at home in a wine rack or if you are serious

about your wine collection, keep it in a temperature controlled

wine cellar or cooler.











Heat and humidity are also important to the welfare of your

wine, for longer storage humidity should be around sixty percent

and will keep the corks fresh and expanded.





An ideal temperature range for the longer term storage should be

at about 55 degrees, for storage of up to six months 55 to 70

degrees should be ok, it's important to realise that wines can

be stressed by variations in temperature so try to keep it

stable by cellaring.











Ultraviolet light affects your wine! That new wine rack you have

in your dining room, sure it looks great in the afternoon sun

but don't expect the wine to be that way, keep your wine away

from fluorescent lights, sunlight and from heat sources such as

the furnace, hot water heaters, water pipes, other appliances,

and especially the top of your fridge!











It's clear that proper storage of your wine is critical for day

to day wine and high quality wine that you want to enjoy in

years to come. A wine cellar is your best choice if you have the

space, why not make it a special place incorporating a bar and

tasting facilities. If you can't cellar your wine or prefer to

buy wines that are ready to drink a good quality wine rack kept

in the basement, under a stairwell, or other cool area of your

home is a must.

GREAT WINE


Wine tasting notes are usually made to help you evaluate a wine to see whether you like it or to evaluate how a wine is progressing in aging. Wine is one of the most popular alcoholic beverages in the world, and is produced in almost every country in the world in some form. The truth about wine is simple. The resulting wine is medium-bodied, with notes of currants and fresh tobacco. The additional benefit of red wine is supported further by an analysis of 13 studies involving 209418 participants. You might find an aged Italian village that has been surrounded by vineyards for hundreds of years where wine is enjoyed in a glass cup.
