Storing
1.	Wine has three enemies: Light, Heat and Oxygen.
2.	Store wine in a cool place, but not in your garage, because it probably doesn't have the thick insulation that the rest of the house has. Temperature needs to remain as stable as possible.
3.	Store wine in a dark place, away from bright lights that go on and off.
4.	Store wine in a place with good humidity. The cork needs the moisture so that less wine will be lost to evaporation.
5.	Storing wines on their side will allow the wine to keep the cork moist and eliminate air from slipping by and oxidizing the wine.
6.	White wines should not be stored in the refrigerator. They should be kept with the reds and chilled ½ hour prior to service. This rule also applies to Champagne.
7.	If necessary, white wines can stay in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks.
8.	If a wine storage unit is not possible, a hall closet may be your best option. I cover mine with a blanket.
9.	If possible, avoid taking a cold bottle to room temperature and then chill it again. This exercises the cork and may tire the wine.
10.	Drink your wine before it gets too old. It is a shame to save wine for a special occasion and then never get enjoy it.
