Hi,

This is a potentially stupid question, but here it goes:

I just got a bottle of Dom Perignon which comes in a box. I am
wondering if I can keep the bottle in the box and put the whole thing
into my home cellar. Or should I take the bottle out? The box looks
real nice, sealed and all. It seems a pity to take it out. Any
suggestion or experience?

Thanks & Cheers,
Patrick

I leave boxed Champagne in the box and put the whole thing in the cellar.
Might want to give it as a gift someday. Have never had a problem with
humidity damaging the box, but if that should happen, well, you can always
throw away the box /then/.

I recommend taking it out of the box sometime before pouring and
drinking it. ;-)

Other than that, it doesn't matter (other than the space it takes
up), and you should keep it in the box or not, as you prefer.

I've performed the experiment in a very damp cellar over a number
of years. The Dom boxes seem to weather it just fine.
