    When you lay the bottles, the wine touches the corks. Corks are like sponges. They absorb the wine and expand. They block the neck and do not allow air to enter the bottle.

    The kitchen or the kitchen cabinet is the worst place to store wine because the temperature changes all the time over there. Wine needs a consistent temperature to remain intact.

    When you are drinking red wines, you should aerate them. Hold your bottle steadily and pour the wine into a decanter. The shape of the decanter is such that it attracts air. There is more surface area on the top of a decanter. Slowly the air will oxidize the wine, making it open up. You can leave it in the decanter for two hours before you drink it.

    How do I make the wine look like it was from the shop again?
    Community Answer
    Not possible. It is manufactured in a way so that tampering is easily detected so an opened bottle cannot be returned.
