There are many common mistakes in storing wines and spirits. Check to see if you've been committing these at home. It is usually these factors that cause your wine to go bad too soon.
To enjoy all your bottles of wine for a long time, read on to learn what you're not supposed to do with your favorite wines and spirits.
Regardless of how long you intend to keep your bottles, storing wine correctly is essential to avoid deterioration.
It can be tempting to display your wine collection by the window, but the light and temperature constantly fluctuate as the day goes on and night falls. In order to keep the wine in good condition, it needs to be stored in a low-light, constant temperature environment.
Keeping wine upright for a few days is alright but for long time storage, keep it on its side. Keeping the cork moist is essential to avoid musty-smelling and tasting wine. When your wine is stored on its side, the wine will hit the cork, keeping it moist and keeping the wine fresh.
The refrigerator is not the proper place to store wines and spirits. To serve wines and spirits, you should bring them down to their serving temperature in the refrigerator. Put your wine in place with low direct sunlight, cool and table temperature, and low vibrations.
Make sure you avoid these things, so your best bottles last longer.
