Enemies of

Wine

Wine

proper wine storage is an essential part of your wine

collection hobby, although it is sometimes overlooked. In order to
protect your investment here are several key factors to correct wine
storage. These include proper temperature control, freedom from
vibration and protection from ultraviolet light. Maintaining proper
humidity is also important so that the wine will stay in constant
contact with the cork. If you enjoy collecting ne wines, it is imperative
to be aware of the enemies such as heat, coldness, oxygen, odor and
vibration, which can potentially ruin your most prized collection!

Heat

high temperatures or prolonged

exposure to light sources can ruin the avor
of a bottle of wine if exposed for too long. If
the wine gets too hot, it will push the cork
right out of the bottle causing the wine to
spoil.

Coldness

Coldness

while high temperatures can be a problem,

so can cool ones! Too dry an environment can dry out
corks, allowing wine to seep out. Lower temperatures can
also paralyze wine, ruining its natural development and
taste. If the wine is exposed to temperatures that are too
cold, the wine can freeze and expand. Because wine is very
susceptible to changes in temperature, it is important to
keep the wine in a consistent environment. Proper wine
storage temperatures vary based on the type of wine.
