nonsense; it is best not to touch them.
• Airflow Some is needed to inhibit mould
and pristine labels are part of that.
CAUTION
1. Don’t have your cellar too damp and don’t
have it too dry. Keeping wines in their
cardboard cases is fine, but dried-out
cardboard is fragile and damp cardboard
disintegrates. Bottles too often break when
 they slide onto the floor.
2. Bottles sealed with cork must be stored on
their sides if the wine is to be kept for any
length of time. Corks must be moist to remain
expanded and stop air getting in. And be
warned, dry corks crumble. Wines under
screwcap (the most common commercial
 brand is Stelvin) do not need to be stored on
their sides.
3. Heat does dreadful things to wine. So don’t
store you wine where for some reason it
heats up. Against western walls (which
 absorb the warmth of the afternoon sun), in
the garage, the shed, on top of the fridge and
in the cupboard above the stove are all bad
places to put wine.

Off-site storage facilities are an answer to the
problem of cellaring larger quantities of wine.
It is a solution, too, for times when you’re not
in a position to keep wine at home. These com-
panies provide secure cellars that hold stock
on your behalf in best-possible conditions with
temperature, humidity, light and air circulation
all carefully monitored.
20
Access is usually limited to you or an author-
ised agent and computer systems record
and track stock. The ware-houses will accept
deliveries on your behalf from merchants or
wineries and delivers to instruction. Take care
when selecting an off-site cellar, however; use
only companies of highest reputation.
