Unlike most food and drink, wine can improve for years. Poor wine making, dirty storage containers, and exposure to air can cause a wine to quickly turn to vinegar.

If kept in a cool dark place, many wines will store well.  Both red and white wine likes to be kept cool. 55°F is ideal, but more important than this magic number is that the temperature doesn’t fluctuate. Better a constant 65°F than 40° one day and 80° the next.

Keeping wines you don’t plan to drink immediately is very important to ensure you will enjoy them when you are ready to open.
