There are two reasons why we decant wines: To enjoy young wines fully (up to 10 years for both red and white) consider opening them 8 â 12 hours prior to consumption for aeration, or decant the wine, as this shortens the aeration process.
Proper Wine Storage Temperature and Humidity. An ideal temperature for wine storage is 55Â°F to 57Â°F (12Â°C to 14Â°C) with an average 60% relative humidity.This temperature and relative humidity (RH) will allow the wines to mature slowly, reduce mold growth, keep the corks from drying out, and prevent spoiling of the labels.n ideal temperature for wine storage is 55Â°F to 57Â°F (12Â°C to 14Â°C) with an average 60% relative humidity.
