o W<strong>in</strong>es kept at a higher temperature will age faster. W<strong>in</strong>e that is<br />
exposed to temperatures that are greater than 21°C (70°F) will<br />
suffer from poorer flavour and aroma.<br />
o If w<strong>in</strong>e is kept at too low a temperature, this can result <strong>in</strong> the<br />
development of harmful deposits. A humidity of 70% is ideal for<br />
keep<strong>in</strong>g corks from shr<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
o After a bottle of w<strong>in</strong>e has been opened, the w<strong>in</strong>e comes <strong>in</strong>to<br />
contact with air. So it is best to store the rema<strong>in</strong>der of the bottle<br />
upright, to m<strong>in</strong>imize the surface area of the w<strong>in</strong>e that is com<strong>in</strong>g<br />
<strong>in</strong>to contact with the air.<br />
o Once opened, w<strong>in</strong>e will rema<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong> a dr<strong>in</strong>kable condition for two<br />
days for delicate whites or three days for rich reds, as long as<br />
the bottle as been resealed. You should make sure that the seal<br />
is firm by check<strong>in</strong>g the stopper.<br />
o Special stoppers that keep w<strong>in</strong>e sparkl<strong>in</strong>g and Champagne<br />
bubbl<strong>in</strong>g for one or two days after open<strong>in</strong>g, can be bought at<br />
most good w<strong>in</strong>e shops.<br />
o When stored correctly, white w<strong>in</strong>es can keep well for up to two<br />
years. Full bodied reds will age well for ten years and dessert<br />
w<strong>in</strong>es will age well for up to twenty years.<br />
o When you buy a bottle of w<strong>in</strong>e, you should transfer it to a<br />
suitable storage location immediately (if you are not go<strong>in</strong>g to<br />
store it <strong>in</strong> your w<strong>in</strong>e cab<strong>in</strong>et).<br />
o Cheaper bottles of w<strong>in</strong>e will not age as well as more expensive<br />
ones.<br />
o To make the most of the bouquet and taste of your w<strong>in</strong>e, never<br />
fill more than half a glass at a time. It will also help if the shape<br />
of your w<strong>in</strong>e glass is appropriate for your w<strong>in</strong>e. The size and<br />
shape of your w<strong>in</strong>e glass’s bowl will determ<strong>in</strong>e the <strong>in</strong>tensity and<br />
complexity of the bouquet. The stem should be long enough to<br />
allow you to avoid hand contact with the bowl of the glass and<br />
should be tulip-shaped or tapered at the top.<br />
