<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Buying and storing champagne in advance is fine
Purchasing champagne up to several months in advance of a wedding is perfectly fine and will in no way affect the taste and consistency of the bubbly. To preserve the bottles after purchase, be sure to store them in a temperature-controlled wine cellar. If you do not have access to a wine cellar, any dark, cool (around 60 degrees Fahrenheit), dry area will also serve the same purpose. You should also store the bottles upright and leave them undisturbed until you plan to use them.
On the Other: Don't hold on to champagne for too long
In most cases, champagne is meant to be consumed young. It is not meant to sit for 10 years or more like other wines and saved for its vintage. If your wedding is more than 5 years away, it is recommended that you wait to buy the champagne until within two years of the planned date.
Bottom Line
Most weddings are planned from six months to 18 months in advance, and given all of the details that require action and attention, purchasing and correctly storing champagne at any point within the normal wedding planning time frame is perfectly fine.
