So, you love wine, you've bought a few of your favorite bottles and you store them in a wine rack on your counter or on top of your refrigerator. Then one day your friend brings you a bottle and you get another bottle for a gift and you begin to run out of room on your counter. Then you begin thinking...where is the best place to store my wine. Most wine lovers have seen the day that requires graduating from a couple bottles in a rack to coming up with some sort of system to sort, store, and keep wine accessible. The following are some tips for keeping your wine healthy and tasting good long-term.
"One is on a 2001 Crown Vic that came in for a compressor failure. The sealer/dye was added (after repair) as an insurance policy. Another was a 1996 Deville that had a small evaporator core leak. When (the customer was) told it would be over $1,200 to install a core, they just couldn't afford it. So after explaining this new product, they decided to give it a try. We should know in a few months if it has fixed that Deville." Lou described a similar situation with a regular customer's Dodge Dakota, saying that "time will tell the tale."The reviewhttp://belfercenter.ksg.harvard.edu/project/43/environment_and_natural_resources.html?page_id=16In 1987, F-gases such as CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) and later also HCFCs (hydrochlorofluorocarbons) were controlled under the Montreal Protocol due to their negative impact on the stratospheric ozone layer. Unfortunately, many of them were replaced with another generation of F-gases known as HFCs (hydrofluorocarbons). HFCs, which have a direct global warming impact more than a thousand times worse than the reference gas carbon dioxide (CO2), are currently used in much of the world’s commercial refrigeration. Refrigeration is critical in food and beverage production, processing, storage, transportation and point-of-sale (e.g. supermarket cabinets, beverage coolers, ice cream freezers). Commercial refrigerants represent 41% of total refrigerant emissions.1Circle 56 on inquiry card or click e-inquiry at pten.com
It is important to note that your wines will mature more quickly if your cellaring conditions are not ideal. If you are like me, you have more everyday style wine in your cellar than anything. These wines are better to drink quickly rather than store for years and years. However, proper storage conditions will keep your wine from spoiling too quick and you may be surprised with the excellent aging results you achieve with some higher end or more complex styles such as Bordeaux or Pinot Noir/Burgundy. Try asking your local wine merchant to suggest some wines for you that age well and have fun starting a collection of age worthy wine to go with your everyday wine.
