"Storage of Wines"
Storage is an important task for wine that is being kept for long-term
aging. While most wine is consumed within 24 hours of purchase, fine wines are
often set aside for long-term storage. Wine is one of the few commodities that
can improve with age but it can also rapidly weaken if kept in poor conditions.
There are three direct factors effects on a wine’s condition
are light, humidity and temperature. A fourth consideration can be security for
expensive wines. Historically the storage of wine was handled by wine merchants
but since the mid-20th century consumers have been increasingly storing their
own wine in home-based wine cellars Three factors that have the most
pronounced effect on wine in storage: light, humidity and temperature.
"Light"
Strong, direct sunlight light can badly react on wine so keep it in the
dark store all wines away from light, especially direct sunlight and fluorescent
fixtures. UV rays can cause wine to be ‘light struck,’ giving them an unpleasant
smell. Darker bottles (such as light green and blue colored) are better protected.
If it not exposed to light occasionally, try to make sure it’s light from incandescent
or sodium vapor lamps.
