Storing wine bottles

Storage tips
– Always unpack bottles – do not store
wine in crates or boxes.
– Any vibration or movement of a wine
bottle can interrupt the natural
breathing process of the wine, which
affects the taste.
– Always lay bottles on their side for
storage. This keeps the corks moist
from the inside, preventing air from
entering.
– Store similar wine varieties beside
each other on the same shelf, to
avoid restocking and the need to
disturbed other bottles.
– Before serving, rosé and red wine
bottles should spend at least two
hours upright and open, to reach
optimal drinking temperature.
Sparkling wine and champagnes
should be chilled briefly in the
refrigerator before serving.
– Remember that wine should always
be cooled to slightly lower than the
ideal serving temperature, as the
temperature increases by 1° to 2° as
soon as it is poured into a glass.
