Storage of Wine
Storing your wine correctly is a very important part of enjoying wine. You may think that where you leave your wine will have absolutely no impact on the quality of the product but nothing could be further from the truth. No matter how expensive the bottle of wine is, it’ll be ruined if you don’t take care of it. You could be pouring hundreds or perhaps thousands of pounds worth of wine down the sink if you, over the years, fail to correctly invest in wine storage that is suitable.
And of course, there’s no point keeping wine for long-term aging if it is not going to be stored properly: if it is not going to be stored in the right sort of conditions then you may as well simply buy a cheap bottle of wine and save the time, effort, and cost of buying the expensive wine in the first place.
Wine is one of the few commodities that can actually increase in price with age, but bear in mind that its condition will not improve if kept in a very light, humid, and warm place. That’s why so many people choose to keep their wine in wine cellars. The conditions keep the wine cool but not cold, and sufficiently humidity is required so that the cork does not dry up and subsequently causing the wine to oxidize due to the gaps created, likely spoiling the wine. This is where neck tags can come into play.
It’s also very important to know exactly when each bottle of when was put in the basement, and when storing hundreds of bottles it’s also important to know what the bottle is without disturbing it. Using neck tags wrapped around the outer-most edge of the bottle will enable you to recognize the wine, the original price paid, and perhaps the year when it would be ideal to drink it.
