Storing tips

• About 95% of wine is meant to be consumed within the first year after release.
• The proper humidity for storing wine is between 60% and 70%.
• Store wine away from natural or ultraviolet light, which can interact with the sulfites in a bottle of wine to form mercaptans, or foulsmelling aromas that make the wine undrinkable.
• If you break or lose a cork, you can store leftover wine by securing a piece of plastic wrap over the bottle opening with a tightly wound rubber band.
