o
Special stoppers that keep wine sparking and Champagne bubbling for one or two days after
opening, can be bought at most good wine shops.
o
When stored correctly, white wines can keep well for up to two years. Full bodied reds will age
well for ten years and dessert wines will age well for up to twenty years.
o
When you buy a bottle of wine, you should transfer it to a suitable storage location immediately
(if you are not going to store it in your wine cooler).
o
Cheaper bottles of wine will not age as well as more expensive ones.
o
To make the most of the bouquet and taste of your wine, never fill more than half a glass at a
time. It will also help if the shape of your wine glass is appropriate for your wine. The size and shape
of your wine glass’s bowl will determine the intensity and complexity of the bouquet. The stem
should be long enough to allow you to avoid hand contact with the bowl of the glass and should
be tulip-shaped or tapered at the top.

The outside of the wine cooler should be cleaned with
mild detergent and warm water.
