Q&A for How to Store Vodka

Yes, you can store it in the fridge. The freezer will just keep it colder.

Change in temperature causes condensation. It doesn’t have anything to do with the vodka itself; it’s where it is being stored.

Yes, it will be fine, though you'll want to allow the bottle to come to room temperature first and wipe off any condensation that forms on the bottle to preserve the finish of your cabinet.

It's fine, as long as the vodka isn't being stored there for years. As the article says, extreme temperature fluctuations can affect the taste of the vodka.
