Improper humidity can wreak havoc with a maturing wine, making the cork dry and allow oxygen to seep into the wine and affect its taste.

Wine bottles should be stored on their side to allow for sedimentation as well as keep the cork moist since the wine will always be in contact with the cork.

Because of this, store bottles that use natural cork stoppers on their sides.

Storing at lower humidity can cause the cork to dry out and allow the wine to oxidize.

Vacu Vin is a rubber cork stopper that holds a weak vacuum in the bottle with a few pumps from the hand pump that comes with the system, creating a low-pressure environment and eliminating much of the oxygen in the bottle.

Literally since the late 1600's into the early 1700's, cork was used as an alternative wine closure to oil soaked rags.

Cork has more uses than just for the tops of your favorite champagne or wine bottles.

It's also used in musical instruments and bulletin boards…and granules of cork can also be mixed into concrete!

The composites made by mixing cork granules and cement have low thermal conductivity, low density and good energy absorption.

Alas, there are a few problems with cork, however.

This makes for a larger demand and an un-moving supply and as a result, cork can be expensive.

Some very high-end exclusive wineries can pay upwards of $1.50 to even $3.50 for a single cork!

The other problem with TCA or cork taint is that it doesn't take much for us to smell it.

Because of the possibility of cork taint, alternative closures have been tried and adopted.

If you go and buy a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc chances are you will find it with a twist off cap instead of cork…and more and more wineries are going to alternative closures to cork on other wines as well.

But because of the corks ability to "breathe" a little, many of the ultra-premium wineries are still using cork in their wines because of the proven track record.

If they find a good supplier or cork, they take fewer chances of TCA…but again, they're paying for it which means in reality you are.

If the cork dries out, it shrinks and oxygen can get into your wine.

Additionally, wines fare best when stored on their side at a slight downward angle with the cork lower than the bottom of the bottle.

Because bottles are stored on their sides, the cork is kept moist, as well.

Don't get corked - Corks in wine bottles from time to time cause something called "cork taint."

This is when the cork imparts off flavors and smells in the wine that aren't detectable until the wine has been opened.

Additionally, boxed wine avoids "cork taint," which is a culprit that has ruined many perfectly good bottles of wine that weren't consumed quickly enough after opening.

Once you open a bottle of white wine, it can last three to five days in the refrigerator with the cork tightly in place.

Part of the problem is that the cork may begin to dry out, allowing some of the carbonation to escape.

Some wine experts insist that the carbonation of the Champagne helps keep the cork moist when the bottle is in upright storage.

Some feel that storing bottles on their sides is a more efficient way of keeping the cork moist, even thought this means you can't store as many bottles in a small space.

Box wine isn't prone to wine spoilage issues such as mercaptan, oxidation and cork taint.
