Practical tips for storing wine
Always unpack bottles of wine – do not store in crates
or boxes.
Place old bottles so that the cork is always wet.
There should never be an air gap between the wine
and the cork.
Before the wine is drunk, it should be "warmed up"
(chambré): Place e.g. rosé wine on the table
approx. 2–5 hours before drinking, red wine
4–5 hours before drinking. The wine will then be at
the correct drinking temperature. Sparkling wine and
Champagne should be cooled in the refrigerator
shortly before drinking.
Remember that wine should always be cooled slightly
lower than the ideal serving temperature, as its
temperature increases by 1 to 2 °C as soon as it
is poured into a glass!
