Wine Storage Facilities

Correct wine storage is essential. No matter how good a wine is, if stored poorly it will never realize its full potential.

The ideal wine storage environment is dark, stable and cool - about 55 F/13 C with relative humidity at about 70%, to prevent corks drying out. For cork-sealed bottles (which effectively 'breathe' very, very slowly), air quality is also a consideration.

Human beings and wine bottles require quite distinct environments to remain in good condition, so most homes are unsuitable for wine mid- and long-term wine storage. Fortunately, professional wine storage facilities are becoming cheaper and more accessible every year. A selection of providers is listed below.
