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.

Why a wine cellar is important to your wine collection
Those who collect wine, not just to drink but to age are those who should be getting a wine cellar. There are two types of wines out there on today's wine market and one of these is the type of wine that you can drink as soon as you get it home and the other wine is one that needs to be stored in a wine cellar for the next few years while it continues to age. If you are a collector of the latter types of wine then you should have a wine cellar to keep them in if you want to have them age the way they should.
All wine needs to be kept in a cool place where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight ever. Too much heat or sun can affect the entire aging process of a wine and that is where having an excellent wine cellar comes in. If you have your wine in an appropriate wine cellar you will never have to worry about heat or sunlight and your wine will be safe and when you do open it, it will be scandalously good.

Riedel Ouverture Red Wine Glasses, Set of 4
Perfect for everyday use, the four red-wine glasses in this set are part of the moderately priced Ouverture series offered by world-renowned Austrian wineglass maker Riedel Crystal (founded in 1756). Being lead-free, they're not crystal like Riedel's premium glasses but are machine blown of potash glass and are dishwasher-safe. Their thin rims are cut and polished to Riedel's exacting standards, so wine flows easily onto the tongue. Each glass holds 12-3/8 ounces and stands 7-3/8 inches h...
