cellared
Put in storage
Cellared describes something that has been stored in a cellar, typically wine or other beverages kept under controlled conditions to age or preserve them: a properly cellared Bordeaux, cellared for fifteen years before opening.
The term implies deliberate storage rather than mere placement—wine that has been cellared has been cared for.
