Wine is Light-Sensitive

Why do you suppose almost all wine comes packaged in dark coloured bottles? Very simply put, wine is light- sensitive. That’s also why, properly stored, wine is kept in the dark. As to the particular colour utilized for bottles, there is no significance, Many shades of green, brown and even purple, like a Noxzema bottle, are used. The only wines that might come in clear bottles are dessert and rosé wines, strictly as a marketing tool to highlight the pretty colour and make you want to buy them. Once purchased though, these should be stored in the dark as well. So whether you’re buying wine to have with dinner on Saturday or aging it for a while, be sure to keep it in a dark place.
