Wines kept at a higher temperature will age faster. Wine that is exposed to

If wine is kept at too low a temperature, this can result in the development of
harmful deposits. A humidity of 70% is ideal for keeping corks from shrinking.
After a bottle of wine has been opened, the wine comes into contact with air. So it
is best to store the remainder of the bottle upright, to minimize the surface area of
the wine that is coming into contact with the air.
Once opened, wine will remain in a drinkable condition for two days for delicate
whites or three days for rich reds, as long as the bottle as been resealed. You should

Special stoppers that keep wine sparking and Champagne bubbling for one or two
days after opening, can be bought at most good wine shops.
When stored correctly, white wines can keep well for up to two years. Full bodied
reds will age well for ten years and dessert wines will age well for up to twenty
years.
When you buy a bottle of wine, you should transfer it to a suitable storage location
immediately (if you are not going to store it in your wine cabinet).
Cheaper bottles of wine will not age as well as more expensive ones.
Some wines should be consumed earlier than others, check your wine merchant to

wine. The size and shape of your wine glass’s bowl will determine the intensity and
complexity of the bouquet. The stem should be long enough to allow you to avoid
hand contact with the bowl of the glass and should be tulip-shaped or tapered at
the top.

either drink the wine on the same day it was opened or to use a vacuum device
specially designed for removing oxygen from opened wine bottles. If you use such a
device, the wine should still be consumed shortly afterwards.
Ullage- this is loss of wine from the bottle by evaporation or leakage. Signs of ullage
include wine seeping around the cork, a protruding cork or a stained label. It can
happen if the bottle has been allowed to get too warm. The wine may still be drink-
able, if the leakage was recent; however, you should be aware that if the wine cools
down again, contraction can cause more air to be sucked into the bottle and result in
further deterioration.

has been stored, but as a result of incomplete malolactic fermentation before the
Sediment- this is not normally a problem, however both red and white wines can
produce sediment after a number of months in a bottle. The sediment consists of
tartrate crystals and is totally harmless. If anything the building of sediment can be
considered a good sign because it means that the wine was not subjected to much (if
A good way to get around sediment (if it is a problem) is to stand the bottle upright,
