Storing Your Wine Properly For The Best Flavor

June 1, 2009 By Rhino Wino

Even the finest wines can get that vinegar flavor to them if they are not stored properly. So whether you purchase from specialty local vintners or search carefully for those highly sought vintages proper storage and wine accessories  are essential to protect your favorite bottles of wine.
Whether you are talking about a bottle or red wine or white wine the storage needs for both are the same. The contents within the wine bottle are susceptible to damaging effects from temperature, light and humidity. Any one or combination of these elements can quickly degrade the taste and quality of the product.

For this reason all wine should be carefully kept at 53 to 58 degrees with a fairly constant 70 percent humidity. Also there is a reason more often than not wine bottles are stored on their sides or laid down. This is to keep the cork from drying out and the contents from evaporating inside the bottle. Sunlight is also very damaging to your fine wines and therefore it is essential that it is stored in a dark to low light environment. This will keep the UV rays from potentially turning that great flavor into the horrible vinegar taste that ruins a excellent bottle of wine.

Many shops such as RhinoWineGear.com have a large selection of that can help you store and maintain your wine for the best results. Of course if your storage needs are fulfilled they also have a huge selection of gifts for the wine lover as well as other interesting accessories such as the Meritage Wine Tote for transporting your wine.
