SPIRITS, LIQUEURS AND FORTIFIED WINE

Most distilled spirits, including bitters, can be kept at room temp. because of the high alcohol content.

​

To reduce oxidation, vermouths and other fortified wines like Sherry and Port should be stored in the fridge.

​

To prevent early spoiling, keep your cream based and low proof (15% or lower) liqueurs chilled.
