Storing wine properly can help extend its shelf life and prevent spoilage. Here are some tips for storing wine well.

2. Avoid sudden changes in temperature.
Large temperature fluctuations can damage the wine. Try to store it in a place with a stable temperature.

Wine can absorb strong odors, so be sure to store it in a place that is free from strong odors, such as onions, strong herbs, or other chemicals.

Wine is generally not recommended to be stored for too long. Most wines are best consumed within a relatively short time after purchase.
