Red wine can be drunk even if it is expired, but the taste will become not so good, but the expiration date is too long the wine may trigger discomfort. Here to explain, the shelf life of red wine and general food is not the same, food once the shelf life, it is easy to corruption and rot, eat the expired food people will certainly trigger the consumer's physical discomfort, the symptoms of light is uncomfortable for a while, the symptoms of the heavy will lead to food poisoning, so the expired food is certainly not edible, so the expired food is not the same, then the red wine, what is the difference between the shelf life? The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.

The shelf life of red wine is not the shelf life, but the best drinking period

Strictly speaking, red wine from abroad, so there is no shelf life, but in our country, because of the influx of food into the market, especially canned, bottled, bagged food must have a shelf life, and therefore manufacturers only in the bottle labeled with a date, which is the so-called shelf life of red wine. is the so-called shelf life of red wine. However, with the development of time, the knowledge of red wine into the country, people gradually know the shelf life of red wine is not quality, therefore, our regulations have become, foreign imports of some wines can be exempted from the labeling of the shelf life of red wine is no longer limited by the shelf life.

The real shelf life of red wine depends on the best drinking period of the bottle, for example, a bottle of red wine has a shelf life of two years, then the buyer will be the bottle of wine stored for two years or so when you can drink the best drinking period of red wine. After the optimal drinking period, the taste and color of red wine will change, but will not produce any toxic substances, so that the red wine will not be detrimental to human health.

Dormant, Drinkable and Decaying Periods of Red Wine

The reason why there is an optimal drinking period for red wine is because of the nature of the grapes used to make the wine. Wine made from grapes generally has a dormant period, a ripening period (drinkable period) and a decline in quality. The dormant period refers to a period of time at the end of the brewing process when the wine is not drinkable because the taste has not yet reached the most perfect state. After a period of dormancy, the wine reaches maturity, a period in which all qualities have reached their most perfect state, which is also known as the best drinking period.

After the best-drinking period, red wine will reach a period of quality decline, in which the quality of red wine will slowly decline, the taste will not be too fresh, the taste level will become very poor, and even a little bit of acidity suspected of deterioration. But red wine in the period of quality decline can still be drunk, just not too good to drink. After the drinking period of red wine, the color and taste will change to a certain extent, as long as the red wine does not have obvious precipitation and color changes, and the smell is not so obvious that there is a particularly sour taste, then it means that you can still drink. But then after a period of time, the red wine will occur obvious deterioration, this time the red wine is really not within the shelf life, must be thrown away as soon as possible.
