Vintage Wines (i.e., older year on label):
* Light reds (most Beaujolais, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Franc from the Loire Valley)
benefit from being served slightly cooler than full-bodied reds.
§
Chardonnay is often served too cold. Chill it at the higher temperature limit if you
can or keep it at the top of your Wine Cooler. You can always allow it some time to
warm slightly when you take a bottle from your Wine Cooler.
Remember that temperature stability is the most important
element in storing wine.
After a bottle has been opened, the wine comes into contact with
air. So it's best to then store the remainder of the bottle upright to
minimise the surface area of wine coming into contact with the air.
Once opened, wine will remain good for up to two days (for delicate
whites) or three days (for rich reds) as long as the bottle has been
resealed. Make sure the seal is firm by checking the stopper.
