Wine Storage Conditions

Temperature - Temperature is the most important factor affecting the safe storage of wine.

At WSD we keep wine at the perfect storage temperature of 55 degrees.

	At warmer temperatures wine matures too quickly.
	At cooler temperatures wine might not mature quickly enough.
	Stable temperatures reduces the expansion and contraction that can cause air leakage into the bottles.

Humidity, Light and Vibration - Humidity, light and vibration controls are also critical to the preservation of fine wine.

At WSD:

	We maintain our facility at 65-75% relative humidity to protect your wine from spoilage due to dried out corks
	We eliminate all natural light and use electrical light minimally.
	We have concrete floors and brick walls that minimize vibration.
