Humidity:
The storage location of the wine should preferably have a humidity of between 60% and 75%. If the humidity is less than 50%, there is a risk that the cork plugs will dry out. A humidity of more than 80% will not change the wine, but the labels may be damaged. In order for the cork to be airtight, it must be moist. Therefore, it is important that the wine bottle is always stored lying down so that the cork is in contact with the wine.
Protection:
Wine should be stored in the dark. The consequence of too much light, especially neon light, can be a faster maturation of the wine than usual, as the light initiates an oxidation.
Vibrations:
Vibrations are not good for your wine. Young wines can usually do well after transport and "heal" themselves. In contrast, mature wines are far more fragile and have a greater risk of changing character. Therefore, it is important that your storage location is protected from vibration.
