Of course, some people don\u2019t store wine. They just drink it, and their snazzy, granite wine<\/a> racks just collect dust. However the rest of us build up a collection over time. We cogitate and salivate over the day when we\u2019ll enjoy the great bottle that we found, but if stored improperly, all that daydreaming will be for nothing. How you keep a wine changes its flavours greatly. So here\u2019s our recommendations for storing your prize plonk in peak condition.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Find a room which stays between 10 and 15<\/span>? <\/span>throughout the year, as fluctuations on either side will spoil the wine. This is why an underground cellar is a great choice, and the kitchen is a really bad one.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n this ensure that the cork stays moist, and puffed out against the neck of the bottle. The air is kept out so it can\u2019t spoil the wine.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Keep the wine\u2019s flavours safe from the damaging effects of lighting.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/p>\n either sunlight or artificial light will heat the wine. This ages it, creating really unpleasant stale flavours. Artificial light in particular creates bad flavours in a few wines.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n the wine is a living product. The bacteria that remain in the bottle help to mature its flavours<\/a>, and continually disturbing them as well as breaking down flavour compounds with vibrations is not going to help.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Keeping your wine here for a long time will see corks become hard, and inelastic. They stop working as effective seals. As a result, air gets into the bottle, and the wine grows rancid. Yuck! What\u2019s more, it\u2019ll take the sparkle out of your fizz as well.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Out of contact with the wine, the cork dries out, and lets in air. Again, the wine oxidises and becomes undrinkably awful.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/p>\nThe Best Way to Keep Wine<\/b><\/h2>\n
