Wines need some care
The word "wine cellar" evokes visions of
dim stone cellars with cobwebs in the cor-
ners and lichen on the ceiling.
Indeed, there are some pretty good wine
cellars in bureau drawers, broom closets
and garages, as well as stone cellars with
cobwebs and all.
Light is harmful to wine. A bottle stored in
a bright place for many months will stand
more chance of turning bad than an iden-
tical bottle stored where it is dark. Strong
light, especially sunlight, bleaches the color
of wine and affects its flavor too.
For a long time the experts have held that
wine ought to be kept at 59 degrees, but
some winemakers say their stock keeps
very well for years even though the "cellar"
temperature stays at 80 degrees for weeks
on end. What really matters is to be sure
there is little or gradual change in
temperature. Rapid climbs and drops on the
thermometer scale do cause harm to wines.
Constant vibrations also seem to work
similar hardships if the process is constant.
Not much of a worry unless you keep your
wine next to your washing machine.
Along with these general conditions, there
is the matter of closures. Corked bottles
need to be stored on their sides, or with the
necks tipped down slightly so the corks
remain moist.
Cork shrinks when it dries, allowing air to
get at the wine. A prolonged exposure to air
causes wine to turn vinegary. In the case of
champagne, a loose cork will let all the bub-
bles out. As a refinement, having the corks
to the fore makes it easier to see if one is
leaking, in which case the wine ought to be
consumed.
Wine bottles with screw caps or plastic
corks can be stored safely standing upright,
or pointed in any direction.
In general, wines that are meant to be
served chilled are stored closest to the floor
in a cellar, where the temperature is one to
several degrees cooler than it is at higher
elevations in a room. Red and dessert wines
go on the higher shelves.
There are dozens of manufactured wine
racks available in stores — and they will
serve adequately. Homemade racks that
imitate them will do just as well.
