Storing wine

Q. What should we consider when
storing wine?
A. Temperature, humidity and
brightness are the main elements
because all of them could cause
problems to the wine. 12º-14ºC is
an average good temperature for
both white and red. Humidity lets
the cork do its job, and candle-like
light permits the wine to sleep.
Altogether, these conditions lead the
wine away from being tempted to a
further fermentation in the bottle.
Needless to say that a wine is also
meant to be drunk so it will not
last for ever even in perfect storage
conditions – keep drinking!”
Q. How long does wine last after it
opened?
A. “It depends but considering
my wine drinker’s attitude and
in respect of my philosophy
and commitment towards the
sommelier’s world – I wouldn’t keep
an opened bottle more than 24 hours
and if you cannot manage to drink
a bottle of wine with someone else
within this time, well, probably that
wine is not to your taste.”
Q. How do you recommend saving
wine after it is opened?
A. “The Vacu Vin Wine Saver is an
excellent tool to keep a bottle of
wine opened long enough to enjoy
the wine at different times and I
have personally used it many times
for guests willing to keep half of the
wine for the day after.”
