Wine Storage Tips
- Store your wine upright for the first 3 to 5 days.
- After that, store your wine on its side in order to keep the cork moist.
- Store your wine in a cool, dark place.
- Your wine should be stored where the temperature is CONSISTENT… Bright light, movement, and temperature fluctuations can negatively affect the quality of your wine.

These are the recommended temperatures:
Red wine, 65 degrees (F).
White & rosé wine, 55 degrees (F).
Champagne & other bubbly, 45 degrees (F).Red wines contain tannins, which are derived from the grape skins and from the wood used for barrel aging. These tannins act as a drying agent in your mouth.
An unfiltered wine is just that: a wine that has not been filtered during the winemaking process. Filtering removes solid particles from the wine, but some believe it also removes complexity and color.

Yes, particularly when the meat is roasted.
Some wine drinkers declare that a red wine should be allowed to ‘breathe’ in the bottle before it is poured. Frankly, this doesn’t do much to improve the wine.
When you are tasting a wine, information about it can be gained by looking at its viscosity, which is seen in the “legs” or “tears” that cling to the side of the glass after the wine has been swirled around in the glass. If there are prominent traces the wine has a high alcohol or sugar content or both.
