Can anyone recommend a good, reliable hygrometer? We opened our last two bottles of valpolicella that were just two years old, and they were oxidised. Not undrinkable, but you could tell it was definitely on its way. They were sealed with aglom. corks, which were supposedly guaranteed for three years. My cellar here in CT stays in the 60's year round, not much temp. swing,and the old hygrometer I have down there says its about 55% humidity. I thought these were pretty good conditions. The guy at the LHBS where I got the corks says it was due to changing humidity, but his opinion wasn't based on anything factual, just kind of a off the cuff remark. I know humidity is likely to drop during the colder winter months, but when I checked the hygro at various times, it was always 50-60 %. I had picked up a couple bags of these corks a short time ago to bottle a sav. blanc and a valpolicella ripassa. I did bottle the sav., but won't chance the valp. with these corks so I retuned them and am gonna get some quality real cork corks. I wanna replace the hygro to be sure of the real % humidity. Thanks.
