Proper Wine Storage
The majority of wines sold today are designed to be enjoyed young. Almost all midpriced bottles will survive in a rack for around 12 months, but are likely to deteriorate if left for longer. Traditionally, most wines worth cellaring were from the Old World, but age-worthy bottles are now created by the finest producers elsewhere, too. If in any doubt, it is always better to drink a wine too young rather than too old.
Wine is best stored on its side, as constant contact between cork and liquid prevents the cork from drying out. Sparkling wines and wines with a screwcap can be stored upright because this problem does not arise. If you would like to cellar wine but lack the ideal conditions, alternatives exist; buying a wine fridge or cabinet that can hold bottles in perfect storage conditions; or paying a professional firm to arrange dedicated wine storage.
