Before I became interested in wine and researched more on how your storage system can affect the quality of the wine, I used to store my wine in a rack.
I thought I was doing good because I knew that lying the bottles horizontally would keep the cork moist which would prevent it from shrinking and letting air into the bottle. However I didn't know how damaging light, heat, humidity and vibration can spoil the quality of wine.
I thought it was strange that my wines, which were the same as the ones I'd drank at a friends houses, didn't ever taste the same.
Once I clued myself up on wine storage and bought a dual zone wine cooler, I definitely noticed the difference. And now my wine taste the same as my friends!
