  • Leaving a bottle of wine in a vehicle, for example, can expose it to extreme temperatures both high and low as well as subject it to excessive movement. The best way to store wine for more than a few hours is on its side in a consistently cool place that doesn't receive direct sunlight.

The article from CNET discusses common wine mistakes that many people make, according to a wine expert. These include: 1) Storing wine incorrectly - Wine should be kept in a cool, dark place with bottles lying on their side to keep the cork moist, preventing air from entering the bottle. 2) Serving wine at the wrong temperature - Red wines are often served too warm and white wines too cold, which can mask flavors and aromas. 3) Using the wrong glassware - The shape of the glass can significantly affect the wine's taste and aroma; for example, a wider bowl for reds allows more air to interact with the wine. 4) Not decanting wine - Decanting can help aerate young wines or remove sediment from older ones, enhancing flavor. 5) Over-reliance on wine ratings - Personal taste should guide wine selection more than scores, as individual preferences vary widely. The article emphasizes that understanding these mistakes can enhance one's wine experience.
