Store Your Wines.
Please see the following chart for the ideal storage temperatures for different types of wines:
Red Wines:
Dry/White/Wines:
Sparking Wines/Champagne:
Rose Wines:
Light reds (Most Beaujolais, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Franc from the Loire Valley) benefit from being
served slightly cooler than full-bodied reds.
Chardonnay is often served too cold.hill it at the higher temperature limit if you can always allow it
some time to warm slightly when you take a botle from your wine cooler.
Remember that temperature stability is the most important element in storing wine.
After a bottle has been opened , the wine comes into contact with air. So it's best to then
store the remainder of the bottle upright to minimize surface area of wine coming into contact with
the air.
Vintage Wines
Vintage and older wines need special attention both in storage and in serving. These
generally send to be robust reds-the better Bordeaux, Burgundy and Rhones from France and their
New World counterparts(Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir and Syrah);deep Italian reds; and the
strong, rich dessert wines like Port, Sauternes as well as the fine late-harvest Rieslings from Germany.
Sturdier red wines can be kept quite well for about 10 years at a cool room temperature (As long as the
temperature is kept as close to 70ºF/21ºC as possible). Note that the worst that can happen to
sealed old wine if it hasn't kept well is that it will taste flat and dull.
When serving, bear in mind that older wines become fragile with age and many give up their spirit very
quickly after the cork has been pulled. You should be careful if you are going to let older wine breathe
or decant.
Very old wines can be loosely re-corked if it is going to be some time before they are to be served.
You may want to consult a vintage chart to understand your wine better. Vintage charts grade regions
and years, allowing you to have some idea of what to expect should you open a vintage bottle.
