1. Store your wine upright for the first 4 days.
2. After 4 days, store your wine on its side in order to keep the cork wet.
3. Store your wine in a cool, dark place. (Liquor store boxes are ideal).
4. Your wine should be stored where the temperature is CONSTANT… Bright light, movement, and temperature fluctuations can negatively affect the quality of your wine.

1. Do not constantly turn your wine. Red wines will sometimes dust (leave residue on the inside of the bottle). This is normal. Simply decant your wine.
2. Do not store your wine directly on a cement floor. Put a thick piece of wood under your boxes.
3. Do not store your wine on heated floors.

"In Europe we thought of wine as something as healthy and normal as food and also a great giver of happiness and well being and delight. Drinking wine was not a snobbism now a sign of sophistication nor a cult; it was as natural as eating and to me as necessary."

-- Hemingway, Ernest
