A basement location is best, but a closet, cabinet or kitchen cupboard will do, as long as it’s out of direct sunlight, and far from any heat source.

]]> 797 2 43 Tip No matter what spot you decide on, make sure it’s closer to the floor than the ceiling—heat rises. And never store wine in an attic.

]]> 798 3 51 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/92/51.jpg Store horizontally Store the wine horizontally. This keeps the bottle’s contents in contact with the cork, preventing it from drying out and ruining the wine.

]]> 799 4 60 Tip If you don’t have a wine rack, simply lay the bottle on a flat surface and tuck a rubber band or chopstick along each side to prevent rolling.

]]> 800 5 68 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/92/68.jpg Keep area calm & clean Keep the storage area calm and clean. Jostling the bottle can agitate any sediment that would otherwise settle out of the wine, and excessive dust and grime could seep through a dry cork.

]]> 801 6 80 Fact The ideal storage temperature for bottles of unopened wine—white or red—is between 55 and 58 degrees F.
