Practical tips for storing wine

Always unpack bottles of wine do not store in
D
crates or boxes.
Place old bottles so that the cork is always wet.
D
There should never be an air gap between the wine
and the cork.
Before you enjoy your wine, you should first subject
D
it slowly to room temperature.
For example rosé takes about two to five hours and
red wine four to five hours before they reach the right
drinking temperature. 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
D
slightly lower than the ideal serving temperature,
as its temperature increases by 1 to 2 ºC as soon as
it is poured into a glass!
