6 Simple steps to stor ing the w ine

you love.

Keep the Cork Mo i s t

Natural corks lose their ability to seal

the wine bottle if they get dry.

Keep natural cork moist - store wine

on its side.

Keep Light Out

Avoid sunlight and fluorescent lights—they create the

damaging UV rays. As a general rule, avoid any light

and keep your wine collection in the dark.

Keep the temperature cool & constant

Rapid changes in temperature will negatively impact the quality of your

wine over time. Keeping the temperature constant is critically important to

successful long-term wine storage.

Keep strong odours awayStrong odors around

your wine can taint the flavor of your wine. Air does pass through corks

over time, and strong odors can penetrate the

cork and ruin your prized wine collection.

Keep i t st i l l

Over time, sediment suspended in the wine settles to the bottom of

the bottle, a process that can take years to complete. When a bottle of wine is moved through

handling or vibration, the sediment can be disturbed and

contaminate the wine, negatively impacting the flavour.

Keep i t In-Bond

Wines and spirits stored professionally in-bond

are much more attractive to

prospective buyers and brokers and can be

worth up to 10% more.You also save on VAT

and duties.
