When wine is stored, can it be stood up like a beer bottle or does it have to be stored flat? I have always heard that it had to be stored flat so the cork wouldn't dry out. I'm getting ready to make some crates and need to know how to make them.
Store horizontally with natural cork to keep them moist and airtight, not sure on the synthetics.
I'm wondering about light expsoure, would a few years of indirect light exposure be a problem? I have a bunch of Barolo bottles that were corked and waxed. I'd hate to have light exposure affect how it tastes a few years down the line. We have shades that let a little light in, and its near a north facing window so no direct sunlight.
