Store in a Cool, Dry Place

Cupboard. A fridge isn't dry.

If they meant a fridge, they'd say fridge.

Also, eggs don't need to be kept in a fridge. So don't.

I agree, except that fridges are very dry. That's why anything you leave in there uncovered gets really dry really fast.

Ah, I'm thinking of sealed stuff, getting condensation.

Of course the proper 'cool, dry place' is a pantry, which few people have now. I'd love one again one day (we used to have one at home - I mean, Mum's house), but eventually it was converted to a downstairs loo.

If it ain't in a fridge in the supermarket, I don't put it in the fridge at home. Unless it says 'refrigerate AFTER opening' and it has been opened, obviously......

I voted for the cupboard but at the moment a humongous spider is lurking in there so have bravely deposited said goods in the fridge.

It means cupboard.

Folk seem to fill the fridge with random items, these days, such as loaves of bread (wtf )

 

[Piemaster]

Its simple really.

Lager goes in the fridge

Bottled beer goes in my beer cupboard.

Red wine in the wine cooler.

White wine in the fridge.

Red wine in the wine cooler.

White wine in the fridge.

The wine box was invented by the Australian wine industry, which discovered that bored Aussie housewives baulked at the commitment of popping a cork, tho' a tipple in the afternoon would relieve the tedium. It was a triumph! Within a few years, just about every Aussie house had a box of red on the fridge and a box of white in it, and a generation of Australian women had been turned into full-on alcoholics.

White wine in the fridge.

Only if it's throwing wine!

Fridges are usually about 4C i.e 3-6 degrees colder than you should drink white wine at. It will taste of very little. Conversely with red wine - "room temperature" means rooms without central heating(14-16ish), not banging it on top of a radiator and serving it at 25C.

My bikes live in the living room. It's always dry there and it's cool with me.

Mine lives in the hall, on the other side from the radiator. I can't get it in the fridge.

We usually take the wine out before drinking it. We don't get in the fridge with it. Agree otherwise tho.



Eggs - They last longer in the fridge. Haven't noticed a difference in taste.

Bread - In the breadbin, without plastic bag. If the bread goes stale, then buy fresh - it doesn't exactly cost the earth. If bread is in a plastic bag it is not fresh. Final.
