Storage & Transportation Storage Conditions: It should be stored in dark and cool place in order to prevent any oxidation after it is opened. Such storage prevents the growth of yeast. It is advisable to refrigerate it even though it is stable at room temperatures. Before it is open, it is not prone to any spoilage. But gradually the color darkens & flavor fades. Transportation: The packaged bottles should be kept in a carton which is cushioned with material like bubble wrap during transporting. This would prevent bumping of bottles into each other and hence will arrest the leakage which would in turn cause microbial growth as well as harm to other packaged bottles. This helps in minimising the transportation losses.
