How to Store Your Wine

Basically, you should try to keep your wine in a cool, damp location.

Rebecca likes to store her red wine at 60 degrees Fahrenheit and her whites at 50 degrees Fahrenheit. If you're a lover of champagne too, store that at 45 degrees Fahrenheit to prevent an explosion when you open the bottle. Be sure to store roses with your white wines.

No space for a wine cellar? No problem! You can store the wine in a cool place inside the closet, or even under your bed!

Something that people don't realize: Wine should be kept on its side. It keeps the cork moist so that it won't dry and shrink, thus making your wine more susceptible to the dangerous oxygen.
