Remember that to store wines at home you must also take into account:

The ideal temperature.

For the good performance of the bottles is key that there is no big temperature changes and temperature ronde between 13º and 16 ° C.

Humidity.

Ideally between 70 Y 80 %, Corks to retain the elasticity and not run risk of leakage, filtration oxygen or fungal growth.

Ventilation.

In a place with good air flow fungi and noxious odors are avoided for wine.

Brightness.

The light tends to be the enemy of wine and oxidizes and gives flavors cardboard. Best to save it is a dark place.

Position to save the bottles.

You are lying, horizontal or slightly inclined. No choice. This ensures that the wine will always remain in contact with the cork, so that the plug will not run dry or risk losing its elasticity and qualities.
