How to keep the wine after opening the bottle? Wine can be preserved for up to a few days

Red wine is a kind of wine that many people prefer to drink. Do you like the red wine with bitter taste and sweet aftertaste? A small amount of oxygen can wake up the sleeping wine, release the wonderful fragrance and reduce the unpleasant bitter taste. So how is the wine best preserved when it's opened?

Tips for wine storage after opening the bottle:

1. The wine plug is tightly covered. If you don't plan to finish the bottle from the beginning, refrigerate the wine in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours before drinking, or put it in a ventilated and cool place at home. When pouring wine, only pour the amount to be drunk into the decanter, and then immediately cover the wine.

2. Use wine freshener. If the original cork is broken, a special cork can be used instead. Now there are special stoppers on the market to cut off oxygen, and the price is not high, so they can be reused.

3. Keep away from light and heat. No matter whether the wine has been opened or not, it should be kept away from the light source to avoid the change of wine flavor due to overheating.

4. Store vertically. Open bottles of wine should not be stored horizontally, and do not move too much, so as to reduce the contact between wine and air.

5. Replace the big bottle with the small one. In addition to flower arrangement, delicate and small wine bottles can also be used to store wine that can't be drunk. Separate the large bottle of wine into small bottles to reduce the space between wine and wine stopper.

Keep in mind that the above method can only be used for 3 to 5 days. After 5 days, Xiaobian can't guarantee whether you will drink vinegar, so in order not to affect your liking index of this bottle of wine, Xiaobian suggests that you drink it as soon as possible. If you think you can't drink it all, you can ask friends to share it with you, or you can use the remaining wine to cook, or you can taste the taste of apple vinegar.

Generally speaking, ordinary wine is best to drink within 4-6 hours after opening the bottle, and the longest time is no more than 24 hours. Once the wine left in the bottle touches the air, the phenolic substances that affect the taste will dissipate and the taste of the wine will become worse. Even if a bottle of wine is only opened for a day or two, the taste of the wine has changed. Because the speed of change is very fast, even if only 24 hours, the difference is very obvious. Wine that has been opened for two or three days will taste bad, not to mention drinkable.

However, this is for the case that the bottle is not well preserved after opening, and if it can be properly preserved after opening, it can still be preserved for a long time. Don't drink too much to avoid waste. It doesn't matter if you don't drink all at once.
