Air Date: Wednesday, August 28th 2024

Listen to the Podcast!

I’ve always cringed when watching those shows like house hunters when they show homes with kitchen wine storage right above the oven. Spoiler: that's one of the worst places to store wine!

So, where should you store your wine at home?

Today, we are diving into the best way to store wine at home. I'll guide you through creating the perfect home environment for your wine bottles, emphasizing a cool, dark, and stable setting. You don't need fancy furniture or expensive wine cellars to store your wine – a simple solution like the back of your closet or an unfinished basement can be perfect.

And we’ll dive into more advanced options for long-term storage, like wine fridges and off-site wine storage facilities.

So, if you are ready to up your wine storage game you will want to tune in!
