2. Humidity management: Keep relative humidity at 60-75%
3. Light protection: Store in complete darkness or low-light conditions
4. Container selection: Use food-grade stainless steel or oak barrels
5. Sealing integrity: Ensure airtight containers to prevent oxidation
6. Vibration avoidance: Keep storage environment free from vibrations
7. Clean environment: Maintain hygienic storage conditions
8. Ventilation: Ensure proper air circulation
9. Position stability: Keep containers stationary during storage
