Welcome to Peekskill Wine and Liquor !


	Light Struck Effect

	When wine is exposed to sunlight or wine display case lighting, a chemical
	reaction is initiated which produces compounds known as mercaptans.
	Mercaptans cause the wine to smell and taste like sulphur, rubber, onion or
	garlic, or cooked cabbage.
	For centuries, wine connoisseurs have stored wine in dark, cool cellars, which
	is the best way to preserve the full flavor of the wine.
	In some liquor stores, wines are showcased under high intensity lights such as
	hot spotlights, halogens, or metal halide lamps, while wine displays in
	supermarkets are often lit by bright fluorescent lights. All of these lighting
	sources emit ultraviolet light and damaging visible spectrum radiation, which
	can lead to the light struck effect.
	Peekskill Wine & Liquor has installed special lights and humidified the store
	which will prevent such light struck effect and assure that the original full flavor
	of wine is preserved.
