The shelf life of red wine is 10 years.

"Shelf life" is literally the period of time during which an item can be guaranteed to be of good quality, and wines sold on the domestic market are labeled with a clear shelf life. Usually, if you look carefully, you will find that the shelf life of the Chinese back label of the wine is generally 10 years, this period of time is related to China's food-related laws and regulations, in order to ensure the food safety of consumers, set the maximum shelf life of imported wines for 10 years.

Wine is alive and well, and good wine has a process of aging from youth to maturity, to peak and then to decline. The "shelf life" of red wine is not very accurate, strictly speaking, it is the "drinking period", wine is generally more ideal to drink at its peak, even in its decline, the changes in wine are gradual, and can not be absolutely said to be undrinkable, but just It's just that people don't want to drink it anymore because it's not as good as it should be or it doesn't taste as good.

So, the wine is not the older the better, after the shelf life of the wine can not drink depending on the specific circumstances, because some of the wine expired is not necessarily deteriorate, and did not expire the wine may also deteriorate, its quality is closely related to preservation methods. If it is properly preserved, even if it expires in a few months, if the taste is still good, you can drink it, but if it expires for too long, it is not recommended to drink it.

When preserving wine, it is important to keep it at the right temperature, place it horizontally as much as possible, keep it away from light, keep the cork moist to prevent air from entering and causing the wine to oxidize, and avoid storing it in a place that is too humid to prevent bacteria from growing.
