Moderate drinking of small cup, with anti-aging, anti-cancer, beauty, conducive to sleep and other functions. How long is the shelf life of red wine? Can open red wine be drunk?
How long is the shelf life of red wine?
Generally speaking, red wine has a shelf life. If we observe carefully, we will find that the shelf life of Chinese back label is generally 10 years. Why the shelf life is 10 years? This is because the food law of China sets the maximum shelf life of imported wine as 10 years, just like other foods, in order to ensure the food safety of consumers.
There is also a default that there is no shelf life limit and can be saved for a long time. After 2008, China's food labeling management regulations: beverage wine, vinegar, salt and solid sugar with ethanol content of more than 10% (including 10%) can be exempted from labeling the shelf life. This means that imported wine with more than 10% alcohol accuracy can be stored for a long time without a shelf life.
However, in order to avoid unnecessary troubles in customs declaration, some importers will mark the shelf life as 10 years. So on the market, you can see imported wine with a shelf life of 10 years or no shelf life, both of which are feasible.
So we have the answer in our hearts. It's drinkable after 10 years. But experts say that 3-5 years is the best time to drink.
But someone asked, how long is the shelf life of red wine after opening?
When the wine is opened, it will be oxidized. For the wine that has been opened but not drunk out, the air extractor can be used to extract the gas in the bottle before storage. The more wine is left in the bottle, the longer the relative shelf life. If less than half of the bottle is left, it is better to drink it in two or three days, and the shelf life of the wine after opening the bottle is better not to exceed one week.
