Close

611-200

The experienced wine connoisseur will know the importance of temperature when it comes to storing your wine. It will become even more essential if you plan on storing your wines for more than six months. Wines will need a consistent and ideal storage and temperature condition if you wish to preserve its exquisite taste.

Red and white wine also differs from each other when it comes to ideal storage temperature. Knowing these factors will allow you to protect your wine collection better and prevent any unwanted flavor and quality degradation.

Storing Wine for Long Durations

You should note that a temperature of 65°f or higher can significantly reduce the lifespan of your wine. But having your storage temperature drop to 45°f and lower will ensure that the wine will not be able to fully reach its peak quality leaving you with a lower quality wine. Because of this delicate balance, be sure to store your wine in an area or compartment that can maintain a temperature of 55°f.

That is the ideal temperature if you are planning on storing your wine for more than a year. It will help develop the wine to its full potential and enjoy the fruit of your patience once you uncork that bottle.

Storing Wine for Short Durations

Storing wine for short durations is, of course, easier as all you need to do follow what the suggested wine serving temperature and keep it at that. Only do this if you plan on opening the bottle within six months of purchase. It is highly recommended to use wine coolers are for such conditions. You will be able to maintain the ideal serving temperature at all times so that it will be ready whenever the occasion calls for it.

White and red wine have a particular ideal serving temperature, but you might not be aware that this also applies to several types of grape varieties.
