Frequently Asked Questions

It is important to not stress about wine storage. Hyper-concern over "proper" storage can keep you from enjoying your wine.  Unless you have a large collection of fine wines that you're planning to cellar for many years, you'll be fine if you put your wine in a dark, largely undisturbed place with a moderate, fairly constant temperature.

Here are some wine storage tips to ensure top quality wine:

Do:

  • Store your wine upright for the first 3 to 5 days.
  • After that, store your wine on its side in order to keep the cork moist.
  • Store your wine in a cool, dark place or out of direct sunlight. 
  • Your wine should be stored where the temperature is consistent… Bright light, movement, and temperature fluctuations can negatively affect the quality of your wine. (13-15° Celsius is optimal)

Do Not:

  • Do not constantly turn your wine. Red wines will sometimes dust (leave residue on the inside of the bottle). This is normal. Simply decant your wine.
  • Do not store your wine directly on a cement floor. Put a thick piece of wood under your wine storage boxes.
  • Do not store your wine on heated floors.
