Store Wine Upside Down

[mrzazz]

I have several bottles of wine in cases. Should I store these bottles upside down to keep the cork wet?

 

[Wade E]

Upside down or on their side for corks other than synthetic. If synthetic it doesnt have o be as they dont dry up as far as I know.

In cardboard cases, I find upside down is best.

 

[wvbrewer]

Yes, store them upside down or on thier side out of direct sunlight and they will be fine.

ALL of my 100+ full cases are stored with the bottles upsidedown. You can stack them high as well.

Those cases are what supports Tom's floors what with all the carboys aging on the second floor. Like Lolly columns! He has to have them stacked up every 2' on center!

100+ cases... I told my wife that I we have a long way to go. Her reply was "What do you do with all that..... we don't know enough people to give it away. Our basement isn't big enough!"

I agree, he has to be doing this for his house to support the amount of wine he has

That's only I stopped counting @ 100 cases. Adding 5 cases more once I label these

THAT is no problem here!
Wife and daughter are good for "at least" 2 bottles daily. Some more like on weekends.

My wine rack holds 435 bottles. I gave my son a few cases and I thought they should be stored upside down. Old photo,by the way, racks are about 3/4 full now

 

[Wade E]

Very nice looking, not sure I like the thought of wine aging next to a fireplace though.

 

[mrzazz]

It's fake not to worry Wade room actually stays about 65 all year!

 

[Wade E]

I had a feeling but you never know! Good to know and it looks very nice!

 

[wvbrewer]

Cool, Nice set up.

I guess I have too many friends. Hard to get 6 months on any wine. But storing 100+ cases? I wish I had that problem. Nice looking racks by the way.

 

[Runningwolf]

Very nice! I wish I had a tasting/wine room like that.

Obviously, with that nice light colored carpet you have never had a dumb newbie moment and wound up with corks blowing. You don't need to know how I know about that. Arne.
