How to store champagne and sparkling wines for bottomless bubbly.
, but that’s not necessarily the best technique for short-term storage of Champagne and sparkling wines. Experts say that Champagne and sparkling wines should be stored vertically for up to one month; however, if you’re holding on to a prized vintage cuvée, it’s best stored on its side for long-term storage. This will keep the cork moist, which will not only make it easier to open when the time comes, but also discourages oxygenation.
And if you’re just realizing now that New Year’s Eve is days away and you want to stock up on Champagne, go for magnums. The narrower and longer the neck, the less likely a bottle of Champagne will oxidize over time, even if it’s stored properly.If you’ve only poured a few glasses of Champagne and want to save the contents for another day or two from now, a Champagne stopper will be your best friend.
