Most wine lovers agree that storing temperatures and serving temperatures are two different things. So, despite that reds and whites are typically served at different temperatures, the ideal storage temperature for both is about 55 degrees F, which will help keep your wines from the risk of aging prematurely.
Unopened Wine. Unopened wine should not be refrigerated in a standard kitchen refrigerator, which is too cold for long-term wine storage. Unopened wine should be stored on its side in a cool, dry place or in a special wine refrigerator. Opened White Wine. Opened white wine is best kept in the refrigerator. It should be recorked, preferably with a device that removes excess air from the bottle, and placed in the refrigerator. Though the flavor will start to deteriorate slightly after only one or two days, white wines usually remain drinkable for up to six days.
