Wines: how to store them correctly

To keep wine in perfect condition, it is essential to maintain a cool and stable environment (10–14 °C) and a humidity of 60–75% , always avoiding direct light and vibrations.
Bottles with corks should be stored horizontally to preserve the seal, while screw-top or already opened bottles are best kept vertically .
It is also advisable to keep the bottles away from products containing chlorine, paints or solvents , whose fumes can alter the aromas.

Once opened, re-cover, refrigerate and consume within the following days ; a vacuum stopper helps to prolong the good condition of the wine.

For optimal storage, it is recommended to choose an indoor space that is dark and without sudden temperature changes , avoiding proximity to motors or appliances that generate heat or vibration.
