Sherry vinegar should be stored in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat. An unopened bottle can last for several years. Once opened, it's best to store it tightly sealed in a pantry or cupboard. Refrigeration is not necessary but won't harm the vinegar; it might just cause slight cloudiness, which will disappear at room temperature. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to prevent evaporation and maintain its distinct flavor.
