WINE STORAGE GUIDE 

 

The ideal temperature for storing red wines is 50-65°F while white wines 
should be stored around 40-55°F, with humidity between 60% and 75% RH. 

 

Store corked bottles on their sides, to keep the cork from drying out and 
allowing air into the bottle. 

 

UV rays make wine age faster, so keep bottles out of direct sunlight. 

 

Avoid heavy vibrations from motors, etc. 

 

Store wine separately from strong odors that might contaminate the flavor 
of the wine.

While most wines today are meant to be drunk “young” (within a few years of 
production) some fine wines are best served by proper aging. But aging too 
long can decrease the flavor of the wine. Generally speaking, red wines can age 
longer than white wines, but here is a storage guide for some popular vintages. 

Cabernet Sauvignon………… 

7-10 years 

Pinot Noir…………………………. 

5 years 

Merlot………………………………. 

3-5 years 

Zinfandel……………………………

Beaujolais………………………….

Chardonnay……………………….
