About our cellars
Your wine is a valuable and treasured asset. Our cellar conditions ensure your wine is kept at a stable temperature and humidity, with no light or movement. Read on for more info and to see how these conditions affect the aging process.
Storing wine in environments with frequent temperature fluctuations can lead to premature development. Temperatures below 12ºC hinder wine development whilst temperatures above 19ºC can accelerate it, causing corks to expand and contract, leading to wine oxidation.
Tuesday Cellar Co guarantees stable cellar temperatures. Our cellars usually maintain 14°C, 15°C, or 16°C (+/- 1°C), ensuring optimal wine storage conditions.
Improper wine storage conditions, such as excessive dryness, can lead to cork shrinkage and leakage, while excess moisture may result in mold and contamination. Additionally, air entering through cork spaces can oxidize the wine, causing spoilage.
Tuesday Cellar Co maintains optimal humidity levels (55%-75%) at our wine storage facilities to prevent these issues and support ideal wine development conditions.
Wine is a delicate product, and constant jolts or vibrations during its development can be harmful. It’s important to storing wine near sources of vibration, such as fridges or laundry machines. Unlike in a managed warehouse, where storemen or forklifts may be involved, we ensure your wine stays put.
Tuesday Cellar Co guarantees exclusive private cellar space free from warehouse movements, industrial machinery, or domestic appliances.
Exposure to light can adversely affect the quality of wine. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays can lead to premature aging and degradation of the wine's characteristics. It is crucial to store wine in a dark environment to mitigate these effects.
At Tuesday Cellar Co, our wine storage facilities are designed to minimize light exposure, safeguarding your collection.
The primary culprit in premature wine consumption is often the owner (yes you).
Storage with Tuesday Cellar Co eliminates the temptation at home, providing a safeguard for your cherished wines and promoting their preservation.
