best way to store?
If I'm saving home made wines what's the best way to store it? Cool,dark and on its side? Should I wax the top? Or in the frig?
|
I have a case of port that I've got on its side. So far no leaks, and the corks seem to be holding up well.
|
If u do store on its side do you give it a spin every so often ?
|
Cool not cold, dark and on it's side. I don't touch my stuff until I am ready to drink it. Wax seems like it would prevent the micro-oxygenation that helps wines age.
|
Ya I don't know about the wax thing... Iv just seen pics of old wine with it on it. Thought it would look cool :)
|
I wax the cork of my meads, I will keep those for another 10 years. :)
|
It probably depends on how long you would want to age it. Micro-oxygenation would kill a wine once it got past a certain age correct? So wax sealing would allow you to age the wine longer would it not?
