![]() ![]() Care should be taken than it never falls below -4 ☌ (25 ☏), the temperature at which the lightest wines freeze and can fatally force corks out of bottlenecks. The actual temperature at which wine is stored is also important, evolution being accelerated at higher temperatures. The warmer it is stored, the faster it will mature (because heat inevitably speeds up all reactions and vice versa). That amount of oxygen may reach harmful levels if temperatures fluctuate dramatically.įor the moment, most wine racks in commercial circulation are blithely ignorant of this new theory, however, so if you want to store wine in a place in which the temperature can vary by more than 10 ☌ (18 ☏) it might be wise to put a wedge underneath the front of the rack so as to tilt the whole thing at the (newly) approved angle.įor the reasons outlined previously, temperature fluctuation is the most serious hazard for wine storage, although the cooler wine is kept, the slower, and very possibly more interestingly, it will develop. Then when the temperature drops, the air bubble contracts to form a vacuum and oxygen may be drawn into the bottle. When bottles are stored horizontally the distance of the air bubble from the cork means that when higher temperatures cause it to expand, wine may be forced out between the cork and bottle-neck (the sugary deposits round the neck of many sweet wines are cited as evidence for this). This will keep the cork damp but allow any expansion and contraction of the air bubble due to temperature variation to result in air, and not wine, passing through the cork. There is a revolutionary school of thought, however, which suggests that it may be better for wine to store bottles at an angle, which ensures that both wine and the air bubble are in contact with the cork. Screwcapped bottles can be stored at any angle. For this reason, wine bottles have traditionally been stored on their sides, so that the wine keeps the cork thoroughly damp and swollen to fill the bottleneck. If, however, the cork dries out and eventually shrinks so that it no longer acts as an airtight seal, it may start to allow oxygen in to the wine and spoil it. ![]() ![]() Every effort will be made to fulfill all orders, but there may be cases where production cannot meet demand, we will notify you as soon as possible in the event that this situation arises.Once it is firmly stoppered in a bottle, wine should be protected from its greatest enemy, the oxygen in the air.
