Proper wine storage

Just a quick note today, because I don't want people getting scared off by long posts like yesterday.

The best way to properly store wine is on it's side. This prevents the cork from drying out, which would, in turn, let in air that would "spoil" the wine.

There are several kinds of wine racks out there, but basically the choice is yours. Keep in mind how many bottles you usually have on hand and consider what kind of feel you're looking for (some prefer simplicity, while others may choose more decorative racks).

If you can't keep your wine in a cellar (and really, who can) the next best place is somewhere cool and dark (the bottom of an empty closet, perhaps). This will allow the wine to continue to age, and as the saying goes, "Like a fine wine, some things get better with age."
