Correct Wine Storage, Your New Domestic Wine Cooler

We all know that the correct storage is essential for any wine that will be kept for more than a few months; there are certain conditions that must be met.

First and foremost, the domestic wine coolers must be set to a correct and constant temperature—ideally at 55 degrees.

Weald refrigeration states that a somewhat lower temperature is acceptable: as the wine will evolve more slowly which may be a consideration if you don’t want your wine maturing over a longer period.

Humidity is also an important, though less talked about, number; generally 60% to 70% is considered desirable.

Lower humidity dries out the cork while more humid conditions can make a mess of the labels.

Bottles should also be kept sideways rather than upright, in a dark place that’s free of excessive vibration these conditions can exist in a natural cellar or in a custom built wine cooler from Weald Refrigeration.
