Practical tips
for storing wine
q Always unpack bottles of wine ć
do not store in crates or boxes.
q Place old bottles so that the
cork is always wet. There should
never be an air gap between the
wine and the cork.
q Before you enjoy your wine, you
should first subject 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.
q Remember that wine should
always be cooled 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!
