In the kitchen storage cabinet? Or in the living room display cabinet illuminated by spotlights? To show how much you cherish it, just place it alongside Louis XIII!
Hold on! First, walk around your home and see which corner of this space meets the following conditions:
First, it cannot be in a place that is too bright. Light can cause the wine to change, and moving light is especially harmful. Avoid places that might be directly illuminated by lamps or sunlight. The windowsill or under a spotlight are not suitable locations.
Next, look for a quiet spot. The area next to the television or speakers is too noisy. Wine needs good sleep before it is opened to "grow into a beauty." It's best to let it continue having sweet dreams so that when it "wakes up," it will be perfectly rounded and mellow.
Finally, avoid places with strong odors. Although a shoe cabinet is cool and ventilated, it could be considered when it's not holding shoes. Do not store wine with durians, perfume diffusers, or stinky tofu, unless you absolutely love those smells.
The remaining places you can temporarily consider are under the bed, a corner of a bookshelf, or a ventilated storage room. Of course, you must ensure that there are no shoes or durians inside. If the wine is sealed with a cork, it should be stored on its side or tilted to prevent the cork from becoming too dry or moist, which would allow mold from the air to enter and spoil the wine. The ambient humidity should be kept between 50% and 75%. If the wine has a screw cap, it can be stored upright, as there is basically no risk of air affecting the wine quality. Additionally, for Port, Sherry, and sparkling wines, since they can withstand exposure to air, storing them upright is also fine. If you are in a hot southern region, the safest option is to store the wine in the refrigerator.
