Casual
storer :
You've
bought a bottle of wine and don't intend to drink it
immediately. That said, it's best to buy wine at least
a week before you actually drink it so that it has a
chance to rest. So you're wondering whether to plonk
it into the fridge or keep it with the rest of your
booze, which are stored horizontally. Do neither; find
a cool, dry part of your house. If you're willing to
shell out a few hundred rupees buy a wine rack (which
you'll find made out of pressed wood or corrugated iron),
else make do with a cardboard box and store the wine
on it's side.
The
reason for storing the wine on its side is to ensure
that the cork remains in contact with the wine, which
will keep the bottle airtight. The moment you keep the
bot upright you run the risk of the cork shriveling
up and air entering the bot. With air comes bacteria
and before you know it your wine will be a genetically
modified organism.
