"Top Wine Storage Spots: Unveiling the Best and Worst Locations"
Storing wine on the kitchen counter is a big no-no due to the heat, light, and temperature fluctuations that occur in the kitchen. Heat can damage the taste of the wine and cause the cork to push out, leading to air exposure and oxidation. The best places to store wine are in a cool, dark area such as a basement, closet, or under the bed. Wine experts recommend avoiding excessive wine storage and enjoying bottles in a timely manner.
