Store wine with the bottle on its side or upside down to keep the cork moist.
Keep wine at room temperature (55-65 degrees) in a basement or garage, and away from heat,
vibration, and direct sunlight.
Chilling Chill champagne or sparkling wines
for 3 hours (to 40 degres), and white wines for 2 hours (45-50 degrees). Reds are served at
room temperature (60-65 degrees).
Aging. Most wines are ready to drink when you buy them. Fruit wines should
be consumed as soon as possible after purchase. Some dry red wines will age nicely in the
cellar. Take time to meet the winemaker and discuss the aging possibilities for your particular purchase.
