Wine is the prima donna of alcoholic beverages. If you treat it wrong, it’s going to sour. And, unfortunately, there are quite a few ways you can treat a bottle of wine wrongly when moving it.
- Too much sun – Exposure to sunlight can break down a wine into a tasteless mess.
- Too much heat – Excessive heat can sour a wine.
- Too much cold – Would you freeze a quality Merlot? No. So don’t do it in your moving truck.
- Too much shaking – Excessively shaking wine can disturb its flavors.
- Standing it up – Wine should be kept on its side to keep the cork moist. Otherwise, air can penetrate the bottle.
