Has your wine been stored properly? Check these before donating. Thank you!

·       Wine should be stored on its side in cool, dark, and temperature controlled spaces.

·       The thin band of space between the cork and the wine in the bottle should look like a narrow gap, limited entirely to the mid-to-high neck of the bottle. (If this is dipping to the base of the neck or shoulder of the bottle the bottle is likely no longer good.)

·       Look for corks that seem slightly pushed out, which is a sign that the wine has been exposed to too much heat. This might even cause the foil seal to bilge or break.
