Wine Storage Tips and the Ideal Storage Conditions<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”23px”][vc_column_text]Drinking and collecting wine is an art that has been developed over thousands of years. For wine connoisseurs and collectors, a good wine should be allowed to develop like a living, breathing thing that is appreciated for its complexity and variations.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”center” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” padding_bottom=”75″ el_class=”whitetext” css=”.vc_custom_1497625562978{margin-top: -100px !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1497626441488{border-bottom-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 55px !important;padding-right: 48px !important;padding-bottom: 55px !important;padding-left: 48px !important;background-color: #111111 !important;border-bottom-color: #b38652 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}” el_class=”customborder”][vc_column_text]Proper wine storage is intimately tied to a wine\u2019s tastes and complexity. Wine collectors can protect their investment and ensure it develops to its full potential by following some basic guidelines related to humidity, temperature, and length of fermentation which are the key factors responsible for subtle variations in flavour, taste, and quality, providing a wine with its individuality.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” background_color=”#000000″ padding_top=”50″ padding_bottom=”50″][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Perfect storage conditions for a wine collection can be hard to pin down, even for the most seasoned and sophisticated collectors. The right storage for a wine depends on many factors, which includes the wine itself. Here are some of the tips that should be followed for optimal wine storage.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”small” position=”center” color=”#b38652″ up=”25″ down=”25″]

\n\n\t \n Keep It Cool (Temperature) <\/span>\n<\/span>\n\n \n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n<\/span>\n<\/h4>\n
\n
\n [vc_column_text]Few things can degrade a vintage wine quicker than warm temperatures. Higher temperatures speed up the ageing process of wine and can often strip a wine of its essence, leaving it with a flat aroma and flavour. Cooler and consistent temperatures between 10 and 15 degrees Celsius (50 to 59 degrees Fahrenheit) are best for preserving wines. Changes or fluctuations in temperature can and do have a negative impact on wine.[\/vc_column_text] <\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\n\t \n Avoid Light <\/span>\n<\/span>\n\n \n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n<\/span>\n<\/h4>\n
\n
\n [vc_column_text]There\u2019s a reason why wine was stored in dark cellars for hundreds of years. Light can degrade wine and speed up the aging process. While sunlight is particularly bad, many indoor lights can also impact on the quality of a bottle of wine. When wine is being stored for a long period, keep the exposure to light minimal.[\/vc_column_text] <\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\n\t \n Monitor Humidity Levels <\/span>\n<\/span>\n\n \n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n<\/span>\n<\/h4>\n
\n
\n [vc_column_text]Maintaining recommended humidity levels in your wine storage area is important. Too little humidity can dry out corks and lead to \u201ccorked wines,\u201d while too much humidity can lead to mold problems. Ideally, the humidity levels in a wine storage environment should be kept between 65 and 75 percent.[\/vc_column_text] <\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\n\t \n Store Wine Lying Down <\/span>\n<\/span>\n\n \n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n<\/span>\n<\/h4>\n
\n
\n [vc_column_text]Wine racking holds wine horizontally for a reason. By storing wines on their sides, collectors can keep wine corks from drying out which prevents wines from becoming \u201ccorked\u201d. Sophisticated wine racking systems will not only keep wine horizontal but will also minimize vibrations that can unsettle a wine\u2019s texture.[\/vc_column_text] <\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\n\t \n Optimal Conditions for Wine Storage <\/span>\n<\/span>\n\n \n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n<\/span>\n<\/h4>\n
\n
\n [vc_column_text]To keep a wine collection at its best, it needs to be stored in a controlled environment. A wine cellar is not just a luxury anymore\u2014for wine connoisseurs, having a separate wine room is the only way to ensure that the optimal conditions for a vintage wine collection are being respected.<\/p>\n

With a professionally designed wine cellar, factors like temperature, humidity, and lighting can be controlled, allowing for the best maturation of vintage wines.<\/p>\n

Cooling systems can preserve and protect wine collections from conditions that can potentially degrade their quality while tasteful racking systems can not only help preserve wines but present them in an elegant and sophisticated manner.<\/p>\n

A proper wine room does not just preserve, protect, and enhance your wine; it also expresses your personality, ties into the design of your home, and makes for a luxury addition to your property. Wine cellars can combine aesthetics with functionality.[\/vc_column_text] <\/div>\n<\/div>
