While you should (at least according to lore) store wine on its side, you are NOT supposed to store fortified or distilled products that way. Corks for these items are not designed to be exposed to the product for an extended period of time: they could affect the flavor of the product and they will eventually rot through and / or leak.
These particular bottles appear to have plastic+metal screwtop caps, for which the concern probably goes away, but you would not want to store anything strong with a cork that way.
In related news, screwtop caps are the best, and I hope all corks go away.", "timestamp": "1572452121"}, {"author": "Jeff Kaufman", "source_link": "https://www.facebook.com/jefftk/posts/10100118893298712?comment_id=10100118906382492&reply_comment_id=10100118930763632", "anchor": "fb-10100118906382492_10100118930763632", "service": "fb", "text": "→ Alex yeah, I don't actually know anything about alcohol...", "timestamp": "1572463578"}, {"author": "Peter", "source_link": "https://www.facebook.com/jefftk/posts/10100118893298712?comment_id=10100118906382492&reply_comment_id=10100118936557022", "anchor": "fb-10100118906382492_10100118936557022", "service": "fb", "text": "→ 1. the \"maybe not really\" link is to an \"expert\" from the cork industry, which is currently fighting a battle with more modern closures. It is in his interest to \"demystify\" the use of natural cork. There are multiple comments disagreeing with him based on the commenters' direct experience. So, he may be right, but it's probably safer to leave the wine horizontal.
