Yangmei can be drunk after soaking for about half a month, longer soaking will make the color of Yangmei black, and Yangmei will make the taste of wine fade after absorbing too much alcohol, if it is placed for a long period of time, it can be preserved after separating the Yangmei from the wine. If you want to drink the wine directly, just chill it on a hot day, or add ice cubes or soda water to drink it.
