However, after the original wine is removed from the cellar and re-distributed, the storage environment will change significantly. Because there are strict limits on temperature, humidity and so on where the wine is stored in the winery, it's natural that you can't do that when you're splitting it out.

Yellow wine is divided into traditional cooking and modern steaming methods according to the brewing process.
