Ideal wine storage conditions
First, the basics. Temperature, humidity, light and vibrations are the pillars of optimal storage. A constant temperature between 13°C and 15°C is ideal for most wines, allowing them to preserve their integrity and age harmoniously. Humidity also plays a key role: too little, and the corks risk drying out; too much, and you could encourage mold (to prevent the cork from drying out, also consider laying the bottle down). As for light and vibrations, minimizing their impact will help maintain the serenity necessary for your wines.
For red wine lovers, consult our collection of Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil red wines , to be stored at this temperature.
The ideal wine storage temperature
Temperature is arguably the most crucial aspect of wine storage. Why insist on this range of 13°C to 15°C? Quite simply because it is in this interval that wines, whether red, rosé, white or even Crémants de Loire, evolve best, gaining in complexity without rushing their evolution. Keep in mind that stability is essential: temperature fluctuations are the number one enemy of good storage. And for those who appreciate a good Crémant, don't forget to browse our selection of Crémants de Loire .
How to store wine without a cellar?
Without a natural cellar, maintaining the ideal temperature can seem daunting. Fortunately, modern technology comes to our rescue with refrigerators and wine coolers designed to recreate the perfect conditions. For a more accessible solution, an insulated closet or corner of the basement can also serve as a refuge for your bottles, provided you monitor the temperature and humidity. And for those who have a weakness for white and rosé wines, appreciating a little more freshness, we invite you to discover our white wine and our rosé , which will flourish wonderfully in these conditions.
You are now armed with the necessary knowledge to store your wines in the best conditions. Remember, wine preservation is an act of love that rewards patience and care. Browse our complete selection of wines and let yourself be guided to new discoveries!
