Buying the bottle is just the beginning. To truly experience the intention behind every sip, it’s important to care for your wine the way it was crafted — with thought, patience, and a little ritual. Whether you’re storing it for a future moment, serving it at the right temperature, or preserving what’s left for the next glass, we’ve outlined a few simple tips to help you get the most out of your CLOSURE experience.

CLOSURE WINE CARE
SIP
Every story deserves the right setting — and every pour deserves the right glass.
We recommend sipping your CLOSURE wine from a medium to large-sized stemmed glass, ideally one designed for your wine’s varietal. For Cabernet Sauvignon, choose a glass with a wider bowl to enhance bold aromas and soften tannins. For Sauvignon Blanc or Rosé, opt for a slightly smaller bowl to preserve crispness and elevate bright, fresh notes.
Holding the stem also keeps the temperature just right — because flavor, like healing, is best when it’s not rushed.
STORE
Your wine deserves better than a forgotten shelf or a sunny kitchen counter.
Store unopened bottles on their side in a cool, dark space — ideally between 55–60°F. Side storage keeps the cork moist, which helps maintain a tight seal and prevents oxidation.
Once opened, reseal with the original cork or a wine stopper/vacuum pump and stand the bottle upright in the fridge. If tightly corked and refrigerated a Cabernet Sauvignon is best consumed in 3-5 days, a Rosé wine and Sauvignon Blanc 2-3 days.
Signs it's turning:
- Dull or flat taste
- Sour or vinegary smell
-Browning or darker hue than usual
SERVE
The Story of the Narcissist –
Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon
Recommended Temperature: 60–65°F (or chilled, if preferred)
This Cabernet Sauvignon is ready to enjoy immediately after opening. It does not require decanting and maintains its structure and depth without extended aeration and will open up with new flavor profiles as you indulge. It can also be enjoyed chilled, depending on personal preference.
It is a very easy-going wine (unlike the narcissist in real life).
The Story of the Cheater –
Santa Barbara County Sauvignon Blanc
Recommended Temperature: 45–50°F
Serve well chilled in a narrow glass to preserve its crisp, bright citrus and zesty notes. Best enjoyed cold to highlight the wine’s natural acidity and freshness.
The One That Got Away –
California Rosé wine
Recommended Temperature: 45–50°F
This rosé is best served well chilled, especially in outdoor or warm-weather settings where the temperature of the wine can rise quickly. Use a stemmed glass to maintain optimal serving temperature and preserve the delicate flavors.
