Thanks for this video, just what I needed!!!
I had no idea that vibrations effected wine or light! Great tips!
Good information. Thanks.
Great video. Very enlightening. Keep most of our wine in the kitchen and garage. (wine racks) - both subjected to varying temperatures.
Another great video, with essential tips and learning. Thanks and cheers!
Thanks for watching and happy holidays!
thanks for sharing!
Great tips! 🍷
Thank you 🙏 easy and fast
Awesome thanks!
Thanks!
Very cool.
thank you so much , new subbie and will be checking out some wine coolers for my collection
Thank you!!!
Greatttttttttt...thank uuu
Great video sir! Thanks for the tips. I like cool, laidback, non-snobby wine folks like you haha. Subbed!
Thank you my friend! No need for the snobbery. I give it to you straight!
Great video 🙌🏼
Thank you!!
I love your video I work in a wine store
Thank you for watching!!
good job
Thank you!!
I had no idea about any of this. I always just store wine in my fridge or on top of the fridge. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching! I hope this helps you improve your wine game, in some small way!
I'm looking at purchasing a wine cellar cooler and I'm conflicted in choosing single zone vs. multi. I have mostly red wine in my collection and do not require the different temperatures for storage and certainly don't want to limit my ability to store reds. Do you have a rule of thumb that you use related to storing reds in a dual zone unit? The reason I'm considering the dual zone unit is due to pricing being ~1/2 of a nicer single zone unit.
Hi Marc, thanks for the information! Any advice on fridges/cabinets for the purposes of ageing wines (10+ years)?
Hey Lance, basically, any of the suggestions here works for long-term. Just keep it dark, stable and consistently cool. If you have the budget, a nice wine fridge like the one in the video, if not, some decent wine racks from IKEA, or the like, will do, as long as you maintain the proper environment, you should be all good. For the most part, wine is fairly bulletproof, unless you really push it.
Great tip about vibrations
Thank you! It's one of those that often gets overlooked. Thanks so much for watching and as a fellow wine lover, please stay in touch!
@@wine-living Absolutely!
It helped
But how long ? Maximum how many days I can store my homemade wine ? Should I add any preservatives in order to keep the wine longer ?
I looked this up because I realized that for over a year now I’ve been obtaining box after box of wine and storing them in the basement. Some champagne, some white, some fruit, most red. My basement is nice and toasty all year long, especially in the winter, so now I’m trying to think where else I can keep them… 😬
Great Video.I have placed inside my wine cooler a little bowl with water for the humidity.Is that ok?
It's definitely going to add to the humidity. Maybe get a little digital thermometer with a humidity sensor to see if it changes the environment! Cheers
Odysseas! 🍷
@@wine-living Thank you for the reply!🍷🍷
I'm a little new to wine storage, but I just began a wine subscription service (Firstleaf) and I'm not sure what the best way to store 6-8 bottles of red wine is. I realize that at some point I will likely get a small wine cooler to maintain serving temperature, but because I'm drinking wine in the $15 range, I don't know if that makes a big difference. Also, since I only drink one glass each evening, it takes me three nights to finish a bottle and when I recork it or put a stopper in, I leave it in the fridge upright for 1-2 days. If I get a cooler, do they make stoppers that can completely seal the bottle so that I can confidently lay the bottle on its side after opening it, or is that 1-2 days period not long enough to justify? I have lots of questions, as you can see...
Thanks for checking this video out and asking questions, I appreciate it! If you intend on drinking the wines over the next few days, just stopper them up and put them in the fridge or cellar where it's cooler, and you should get about 2 more days for whites and 3 days for reds. I just started using a product called "repour," they're stoppers with a carbon filter in them that absorbs the oxygen in an opened bottle. They're supposed to keep a bottle of wine for a month.

They cost about $10 for four stoppers.
I plan to do a video and report my findings on them when I'm done!
i tend to shake also, allmost all due to lack off wine consumption
I am a wine person my self most people I know are beer people or hard liq...
I didnt know about wine fridge I might get one later on :O
after you open a bottle of wine how long does it last if you store in in refrigerator? does it have to consume the wine in one setting/time
Opened bottles of white and red can be stored in the fridge after opening, whites will last about 4 days, reds about a week. Yes, you can throw your reds in the fridge too, especially in the summer! If it's not too expensive, you can even freeze a bottle in the freezer (make sure it's only partially filled) for several weeks, thaw it out and enjoy.!
Great tips! I’m bummed that wineenthusiast.com don’t deliver to California for the wine refrigerators 😭😭
Wait... What? Why would they not deliver to CA? Seems like California and wine are one and the same... Kinda weird a wine magazine won't ship there?
Marc Supsic's Wine Living it said that the they use a lot of electricity and it surpasses the California limit, so they’re not allowed to ship to California because of it
My problem with wine is the availability. Sure you can buy at the grocery store but they are never stored or transported properly lending to some really bad flavors and certainly not what the winery intends it to taste like. I will be making a trip to the local winery/vineyard shortly and hope they store the wine in ideal conditions.
Good idea. Depending on where you live you can also order direct from the winery or a reputable store that you know keeps their wines properly.
@@wine-living I entertained the thought as well. Hopefully they have a climate controlled shipping option. Thanks for the reply.
I have stored red wine bottle in normal homely use refrigerator from last 2 years?? What you its good or its drinkable?
Only one way to find out... Give it a go?
What would on and off 24 degrees room temperature do to unopened bottle?? Win is red.
What do you recommend for those that don’t have a basement or live in an apartment?
If you have a closet or a shelf in a storage room whete it is consistently cool, that would work. Just as long as you kerp it from heat and light, you're good.
if you are storing red wine in a fridge, is it common practice to drink it straight from the fridge cold or should you let it come to room temp before serving?
Some people like their reds a little chilly, but normally you want to serve red wines at about 60 - 65° F. So yes, let it come up to temperature!
I intend to buy a beverage cooler to store my home made wine still kept in demijohns. As for temperatures I have no worries as these coolers can maintain a temp of 8℃. I am little concerned about vibrations though. Do you think that running compressor of these coolers can damage wines kept inside the coolers. How about refrigerators' lower sections. Will vibrations affect wine quality
We don't get coolers specially designed to store wines in india.
Hi Jatinder, good question. Yes, if the refrigerator is loud and shakes a lot, probably not good. But most modern fridges are pretty quiet and efficient. If you can't specifically find a wine refrigerator, at least find a high quality one with the compressor located at the top of the unit; it may be better with the vibrations coming from top, rather than bottom.
@@wine-living Hi Marc that was pretty prompt. Thanks for giving insight on vibration issues. I will surely keep your words in mind when choosing a cooler/refrigerator. Cheers 🍷
@@Hypocrisybuster1 good luck and let me know how you do!
Should we add a moist sponge inside the wine cooler for reaching 70% humidity???
It depends on the cooler. A good model is already designed to keep the humidity there. But yes, for a fridge with no hudity control you'd need a separate unit to keep the humidity.
I'm looking at wine cellar coolers an am wondering about the thermometer probes that measure the temperature of the wine in the bottle as apposed to the actual air temperature in the cellar. What in your opinion is better, measuring the air temp or the wine bottle liquid temp?
Hi Kyle, measuring the individual wine bottle temps is better, no doubt. But will come at a cost. That's what it comes down to with almost everything... Money!! For most purposes, just measuring air temp and humidity will suffice.
The relevant temperature is that of liquid in the wine cellar or refrigerator.
Liquids have greater heat capacity than air, and their temperature will fluctuate far less than that of air. You don’t want to have your refrigerator try to chase the more rapid air temp fluctuations.
hi,
1.what is the optimal time to consume red wine when once opened?
2.what is optimal temperature range to store unopened red and white wine bottle?
and optimal temperature of wines after opened.
3please make a video to explain the fact.
That,
bottles are transported in what temp means it is not important or they transport in fridge vehicles.
or normal ones
Hi! 1. Your bottle of wine will only last for a few days after opening. Red wine lasts about 4 days total. 2. Store your wines at about 55°F and after opening, you want to serve white wines at about 45-50°F and reds at about 60°F. I'm not sure I understand the last question?
@@wine-living
Hi,
last question is about transportation fluctuations in temperature of wines.
If they are ferment at room temp. and filtered at lower temp than that.
after that they have to bottle and transport it
so before we get bottles from fridges of store, they are brought in vehicles.
So, what type of vehicles are used cold storage or normal once.
means wine is transported like coca cola bottles or like frozen ice creams. (at what temperature)?
I just turned 21, and I got a bottle of wine that I'm planning on ritualisticly saving for the future.
I just realized that I dont have access to a place that doesn't fluctuate between 10 degrees.
Wish me luck.✌💀
Maybe you can store it at your parent's place, or a friend's house? Good luck.
@@wine-living Thanks, that's a Great idea! I can probably store it at my grandparents for a while.
Do I refrigerate after opening?
Depends on what kind of wine! But generally speaking, yes. You should refrigerate a white, red and rose after opening. Sweet wines don't necessarily need refrigeration.
Do you prefer chilled white wine or room temp?
Michael Jay San Pablo most often I prefer it chilled, but there are some whites, like Viognier, and Riesling, which seem to be ok slightly warm. I also prefer my reds to have a little nip to them. We went to Greece a few years ago and it was hot there, they served the wines a little cold and since then that's the way I like them. How about you?
Marc Supsic's Wine Living im a redwine guy. I like it room temp even though it is hot here in philippines. Im gonna try some white.
Michael Jay San Pablo you can actually make ice cubes with the wine... it's a good way to chill it without diluting it. Cheers!
2:34 I cant believe he said "if you're not too anal about it" I lost it lmao
how much additional electricity cost does that wine fridge you have generate? must be a fortune.
They're relatively efficient these days, about the same or less than a "normal" kitchen fridge!
Idk what am i gonna do with this knowledge, im just watching this at 3am
Get some sleep and figure it out in the morning 🙂. Buy a refrigerator or something...
@@wine-living thanks bro
The hell with storage. Drink the whole bottle.
This is one of the reasons drinking wine is so daunting for people. You're right, just drink it!
I’m trying to learn how to go from 1 gallon jugs of wine down to storing the wine in the common wine bottle size.
I can’t drink 50 gallons at once 🤣🤣🤣
Hey friends! How do you store your wines at home? Hopefully this helps with the basics, but please let me know if you have more specific questions about storage and aging!
@Ryan B sounds good to me. As long as the temperature and humidity remain about the same year-round, should be fine. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
I store mine in a wine fridge (the good ones) and in shelving covered in blackout curtains (from Walmart) in the basement for the everyday wines. The temp is about 66 in the basement but it is consistent. Great tip on the scratch and dents, I need a bigger cooler, much bigger 🤣🤣
@@dockworthydame5217 that works! As long as the temp is consistent, I'd say that's the biggest factor. Thanks for watching and good luck with your fridge.
Well, looks like I'll have to leave wine storage to professionals.
Just drink it and you won't need to store it. Problem solved!
Hey grandpa! Put down my wine, don’t hold my wine with your Parkinson hands.
Oops. I’ve been keeping my wine in my stomach
