Temperature <\/strong>is also very important, and it has to be between 12\u00b0 and 15\u00b0 C with a humidity level of 70%<\/strong>, a lower humidity level may dry out the stopper, if it\u2019s made of cork, and increase the level of oxygen. Don\u2019t be afraid of leave wine bottles laid down<\/strong>, in fact the wine touching the cork maintains it humid and elastic. Wine bottles have to be stored in a humid location without strong smells<\/strong>, such as cheese smell or salami smell that sometimes are stored together with wine and with the passing of time may contaminate the cork and the wine.<\/p>\n When you decide to open a bottle, it would be better to put it in a vertical position at least one day before\u00a0<\/strong>if possible, so if there is some sediment it will lay down in the bottle. It is also important for the wine to reach the right serving temperature<\/strong>, 7-8\u00b0C for sparkling wines, 11-13\u00b0C good white wines and 15-18\u00b0C red wines and sweet wines.<\/p>\n Since I am a white wine lover, I am sure that the perfect temperature to taste a good quality white wine is 12\u00b0C, rather than 7\u00b0C, and it would be better to open the bottle at least half an hour before tasting it. A slightly higher temperature and a bit of oxygen enhance perfumes and aromas that have been closed inside the bottle for a long period.<\/p>\n Usually at the end of the meal the bottle is finished, at least it is for me, but if it\u2019s not you can store it, with a seal, in your fridge and you will notice that day by day it will get better.<\/p>\n Some bottles stay in my fridge sometimes for more than 20 days and have no problems at all. Just one thing: don\u2019t leave in the fridge unopened bottles for months: if you wanted to drink it but then changed idea, it\u2019s better to bring it to the winery and store them as I described before.<\/p>\n In the end a piece of advice: if you\u2019re not sure to store your wines in the right way, my suggestion is to call some friends and drink them in good company, this is a great solution. 😉<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A lot of friends and clients often ask me about the right way to store wine bottles and how long does a bottle of wine last once it\u2019s opened.\u00a0Not only the choices of the consumers, but also the choices of the producers can affect this aspect: here I tell you my choices.
