A lot of people are into wine collecting. But unfortunately, not all of them know how to store their priced wines properly. If you find yourself guilty of this practice, it’s never too late. Below are some tips for storing wine correctly:

• Store your wines at about 11-12 degrees centigrade with 55-75% relative humidity. If wine is stored at higher temperatures, its natural development is accelerated. Using a wooden wine refrigerator is a good option too.
• Keep your wines away from light. Slightly damp conditions are best, as an atmosphere that is too dry can be damaging. In fact, a very dry or humid environment can make the corks dry out.
• Avoid putting your wines next to pipes, radiators and any type of heating vent. Whatever you do, keep all bottles away from the sun.
