Why not? Refrigeration won't hurt worcestershire sauce. I keep my Lea &
Perrins in the fridge. I don't use it often and so a small bottle can last me
a very long time, years. Worcestershire sauce won't readily spoil at room
temperature but like so many condiments refrigeration retards quality/flavor
loss. I think each person needs to decide whether to refrigerate any condiment
based on their own usage. Anyway, worcestershire sauce takes very little room
in the fridge, and since it is relatively expensive why not derive the best it
has to offer. I refrigerate most all condiments, soy sauce, sesame oil,
mustard, hot pepper sauce, even ketchup. I usually write the date I open a
condiment on the bottle... just to give some idea how long a bottle lasts me my
10 ounce bottle of Lea & Perrins is marked 12/04/01... still has about 1/4
left, guess I'm good for at least another year.

Me too. I always keep my L*P in the fridge too. Dunno why, probably
'cause that's where it always was when I was growing up.

Considering Worcestershire sauce was a 'mistake' in the first place, what
other kind would there be besides "store bought"? There are recipes out
there, but I can't imagine making my own. Too easy to buy Lea & Perrins

http://www.cuisinenet.com/glossary/worcstr.html

No, it doesn't have to be refrigerated. But it won't hurt if you do.

The question is _"should"_... not is it _required_.

It is *not imperative* that worcestershire sauce be refrigerated to keep it
from becoming spoiled (although eventually it will spoil - ALL foods will
eventually spoil) but refrigeration will indeed inhibit deterioration of its
quality/flavor over time... same applys to ALL foods.

Um, some few of us just have higher standards.... and as to having space, a
worcestershire sauce bottle requires 2 sq. in. on a door shelf... maybe if you
cleaned your fridge...

Not true. Honey can become spoiled. Honey can last hundreds, even thousands
of years but eventually it will spoil... bear in mind that the honey discoverd
from eons ago just happened to survive, naturally , far, far more spoiled than
survived, just that there's not much to say about something that didn't
survive... I mean like what's to say about an empty crock.

It's important to protect honey's low moisture levels to keep it from spoiling.
Since it's so dry, honey acts as a moisture magnet. It will absorb humidity
from the air, and can become moist enough to ferment in humid conditions. For
this reason it's important to keep your honey in tightly sealed containers.

The packaging used for honey these days (glass jars with metal lids and plastic
jars) ensures that honey will not survive very long.
