I had no idea that vibrations effected wine or light! Great tips!

Great video. Very enlightening. Keep most of our wine in the kitchen and garage. (wine racks) - both subjected to varying temperatures.

Thanks for this video, just what I needed!!!

[paulineenewman]

I had no idea about any of this. I always just store wine in my fridge or on top of the fridge. Thank you for sharing.

But how long ? Maximum how many days I can store my homemade wine ? Should I add any preservatives in order to keep the wine longer ?

[arnoldchadd]

I'm looking at purchasing a wine cellar cooler and I'm conflicted in choosing single zone vs. multi. I have mostly red wine in my collection and do not require the different temperatures for storage and certainly don't want to limit my ability to store reds. Do you have a rule of thumb that you use related to storing reds in a dual zone unit? The reason I'm considering the dual zone unit is due to pricing being ~1/2 of a nicer single zone unit.

Hey friends! How do you store your wines at home? Hopefully this helps with the basics, but please let me know if you have more specific questions about storage and aging!

[razorchuckles]

I'm a little new to wine storage, but I just began a wine subscription service (Firstleaf) and I'm not sure what the best way to store 6-8 bottles of red wine is. I realize that at some point I will likely get a small wine cooler to maintain serving temperature, but because I'm drinking wine in the $15 range, I don't know if that makes a big difference. Also, since I only drink one glass each evening, it takes me three nights to finish a bottle and when I recork it or put a stopper in, I leave it in the fridge upright for 1-2 days. If I get a cooler, do they make stoppers that can completely seal the bottle so that I can confidently lay the bottle on its side after opening it, or is that 1-2 days period not long enough to justify? I have lots of questions, as you can see...

I looked this up because I realized that for over a year now I’ve been obtaining box after box of wine and storing them in the basement. Some champagne, some white, some fruit, most red. My basement is nice and toasty all year long, especially in the winter, so now I’m trying to think where else I can keep them… 😬

Hi Marc, thanks for the information! Any advice on fridges/cabinets for the purposes of ageing wines (10+ years)?

[venomdank]

I am a wine person my self most people I know are beer people or hard liq...
I didnt know about wine fridge I might get one later on :O

[johnharrington]

My problem with wine is the availability. Sure you can buy at the grocery store but they are never stored or transported properly lending to some really bad flavors and certainly not what the winery intends it to taste like. I will be making a trip to the local winery/vineyard shortly and hope they store the wine in ideal conditions.
