The Popularity of Wine – An Emerging Market in Philadelphia?
Wine consumption has grown rapidly in recent years. According to a 2021 study, around 34% of adults in Pennsylvania drink wine. As more people discover their love of wine, the need for proper wine storage is increasing as well. However, wine storage options in Philadelphia have not quite caught up with demand.
As wine enthusiasts know, proper storage is crucial to preserve the quality and taste of wines. Temperature, humidity, light exposure and orientation of the bottles can all impact how a wine ages and develops over months or years. Storing wine in less than ideal conditions can lead to early oxidation or even the growth of mold and bacteria that can impart off flavors. That’s why more connoisseurs are looking into specialized wine storage solutions.
Here at litemovers, we wanted to gauge interest in premium wine storage services in the Philadelphia metro area. We currently offer specialized moving and storage solutions for household goods, business inventory, documents and more. We realized our climate-controlled facilities may also provide an ideal environment for long-term wine storage as well.
