How to choose dry wine

Dry wine is best evaluated by its clarity and the balance in its taste profile. It should not be overly sweet or have a high residual sugar content. Taste the wine to ensure it has a crisp finish and harmonious acidity.

Avoid wines that taste flat or have an imbalance in their flavor components. Good dry wine should complement food well, providing a refreshing counterpoint to rich dishes.

How to store dry wine

Dry wine should be stored in a cool, dark place with a consistent temperature. Keep the bottle on its side to keep the cork moist. Properly stored, dry wine can last for many years.

Light and temperature fluctuations can degrade the quality of dry wine. It’s important to store it away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure the bottle is sealed tightly to maintain its flavor and prevent oxidation.
