Recently, the news that a resident in Luzhou was fined 23,000 yuan for storing 10 tons of liquor at home has aroused heated discussions among netizens.
Some netizens said: "With such a large amount, even if it is not enough to put the wine cellar, why is it a violation?"
Some netizens think: "This is challenging the bottom line of fire safety!"

In this regard, a person from the legal profession said: If the resident's wine storage behavior has not been approved by the fire department, then no matter how much it is, it will violate the "Fire Protection Law of the People's Republic of China".
Of course, there are also sharp-eyed netizens who found that the "10 tons" in the problem is a major mistake, according to the relevant laws and regulations: the storage of more than 50 degrees of wine and less than 100 kilograms in personal residences is not a major fire hazard source.
In other words, although the resident's behavior of storing 10 tons of liquor is illegal, the circumstances are relatively minor and do not constitute a crime, but face punishment.
But one thing to say, if this matter is shelved in Shanghai, it will be a big deal:
Shanghai Fire Department's official WeChat account "Shanghai Fire Department" exposed the illegal storage of a large amount of liquor by a large resident of a community in Minhang District, Shanghai, and said that the resident would be punished in accordance with the law.
Coincidentally, in August this year, a fire broke out in a resident's home in Beijing's Tongzhou District, where smoke billowed and flames soared into the sky. Fortunately, the firefighters handled it properly, and the fire was completely extinguished after 4 minutes.
Subsequent investigation revealed that the cause of the fire was caused by a child playing with a lighter who accidentally ignited the liquor in the carton. And this incident is once again a wake-up call for people: be careful if you have these items at home!
With all that out of the way, let's get back to the conversation – keeping alcohol at home.
In fact, it is a very common phenomenon that there is nowhere to put wine at home, from friends who need to drink at home, to gift wine used to visit relatives and friends during the New Year.
Here's the problem:
With so much wine at home, how do you store it?
When buying wine, choosing the right packaging is crucial
If you buy new wine, the best way to store it is to keep it in a special wine cabinet or refrigerator.
However, if you have already bought bottled wine, you should try to do the following when storing it:
1. Avoid direct sunlight:
Strong sunlight increases the activity of alcohol molecules, which can cause alcohol to evaporate too quickly. In addition, if direct sunlight hits the bottle, it will increase the temperature of the glass, increasing the rate of evaporation of alcohol.
2. Avoid near heat sources:
High temperatures can have a very strong effect on alcohol, not only making alcohol evaporate faster, but also causing bad substances to volatilize, so avoid placing alcohol near heat sources such as radiators.
3. Holding constant temperature and humidity:
In particular, wines that are older and cannot be affected by temperature and humidity. If you notice that the date on the label is blurred or that there are water droplets on the bottle, it means that the temperature and humidity have changed greatly, and it is necessary to take measures to ensure the quality of the wine.
4. Avoid violent vibrations:
Strong vibrations also accelerate the activity of alcohol molecules, resulting in an increased rate of alcohol evaporation. Therefore, strong vibrations should be avoided during transportation.
5. Storage location selection:
It is not recommended to put red wine or white wine at the head of the bed or by the window, as it is easy to be affected by light and temperature to accelerate the deterioration of the wine. Especially after opening the wine, be sure to tighten the cork or place the bottle horizontally so that no air enters the oxidized wine.
6. Pay attention to the preservation environment:
In addition to protection from light and vibration, it is also necessary to pay attention to the humidity of the storage environment. If your home is too dry, you can put a humidifier in the wine cabinet, and if your home is too humid, you can use a dehumidifier to absorb moisture. At the same time, avoid using aromatherapy, detergents and other items containing alcohols that are too close to the wine bottle.
When is it not suitable to collect wine?
If you want to collect some expensive liquor, it is best to go to a professional hotel or bar to ensure its quality and safety. In addition, many expensive wines have their own specific storage conditions (e.g., temperature, humidity), so don't try to collect them if you can't provide them.
