how to store at home
Can you provide details on the condition of this bottle's label, level, and capsule? Are there any precautions I should take, and how should I store it at home?
This bottle has a very damaged label (score 0) and a mid-shoulder fill level (score 0). For a white wine from 2016, a mid-shoulder level is a very significant concern, strongly indicating potential oxidation or severe evaporation, making the wine highly likely to be faulty. The capsule is in perfect condition (score 10). Due to the low fill level, this bottle is a very high-risk purchase. Store it horizontally in a cool, dark place with stable temperature and humidity.
