Storing your wines
The chart below indicates the ideal storage temperatures for different types of wine:
Type of wine
Red wine (*)
White wine (**)
Sparkling wines/
champagne
Rose wine
Vintage wine
* Light red wines, such as Beaujolais, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc benefit from
being served slightly cooler than full-bodied reds.
** Chardonnay is often served too cold. You should chill it at a warmer temperature
inside of your wine cooler. Or leave it to warm slightly when you remove it from
your wine cooler.
• Temperature stability is the most important factor when it comes to storing wine.
• Exposure to light, vibrations or fluctuations in temperature and humidity can all
cause wine to spoil. When properly stored, wines not only maintain their quality but
many will actually improve in aroma, flavour and complexity as they mature.
• Wines kept at a higher temperature will age faster. Wine that is exposed to
temperatures that are greater than 22°C (72°F) will suffer from poorer flavour and
aroma.
• If wine is kept at too low a temperature, this can result in the development of harmful
deposits. A humidity of 70% is ideal for keeping corks from shrinking.
• After a bottle of wine has been opened, the wine comes into contact with air. So it
is best to store the remainder of the bottle upright, to minimize the surface area of
the wine that is coming into contact with the air.
• Once opened, wine will remain in a drinkable condition for two days for delicate
whites or three days for rich reds, as long as the bottle as been resealed. You
should make sure that the seal is firm by checking the stopper.
• Special stoppers that keep wine sparking and Champagne bubbling for one or two
days after opening, can be bought at most good wine shops.
