Can I drink wine after it's expired? Does red wine have a shelf life

Sihaiwang: wine is what we usually call red wine. Red wine is very popular with people and seems to represent a person's taste. Of course, wine can not completely replace the position of our traditional white wine in the minds of the Chinese people, only in different occasions need to drink different wine, drinking red wine occasions are generally more solemn. We will not discuss these issues today. What we need to know today is whether the wine can be drunk after expiration.

For liquor, there is no expiration date. The older the liquor, the better. Is that the same with wine? In fact, in foreign countries, wine generally has no shelf life. People can completely distinguish the best drinking period of wine according to experience and knowledge. According to the relevant laws and regulations, it is a feature of our country to indicate the shelf life on the label. For example, the young age of dry red and dry white wine is about half a year to a year. The wine in this period is spent in the winery, and has entered the mature period of youth when it leaves the factory, and gradually entered the aging period after five or six years. Therefore, according to the date of production, five or six years are the best drinking period of wine. The shelf life of wine is an uncertain concept. It's not within the warranty period. There is no problem with the quality. After the warranty period, there will be a problem with the quality. You can't drink it. In fact, wine that has passed its shelf life can still be drunk.

Whether the expired wine can still be drunk normally depends on the quality and preservation conditions of the wine. If it doesn't go bad, it can still be drunk. However, we also need to pay attention to the problem that wine is completely different from that of wine without opening the bottle. We know that the alcohol level of wine is mostly below 20 degrees. If the wine is opened, it will be easy to ferment after a long time, and bacteria will invade and deteriorate. Therefore, it is better not to drink such wine. Of course, if the wine after opening the bottle is properly kept and does not go bad, it can be drunk as well. After pouring out the drinking part, the wine should be sealed as soon as possible. Generally, only the original cork needs to be plugged back. Refrigerate at the same time. When the wine is opened, it will come into contact with the air and fungi. Therefore, it needs to be put into the refrigerator for cold storage, and low temperature is used to inhibit the wine oxidation and fungus growth. It is necessary to have considerable experience and knowledge of wine relationship to judge whether the expired wine can be continued to drink. If not, it is better to be careful.
