Can you drink expired wine without opening it? It is possible to drink unopened red wine after the expiration date, but the flavor and taste have deteriorated and it is not suitable for drinking. Internationally, there is no shelf life for wine, but domestic law requires that a shelf life must be indicated on the label, while taking into account the purchasing habits of our consumers, many imported wines are labeled with a 10-year shelf life.

It should be noted that, after the shelf life of the red wine, although you can drink, but if you find that the body of the wine is cloudy precipitation, the color of the wine has become brown, the smell of sour taste or soy sauce flavor, moldy, without the original fruity flavor of the red wine, then don't drink it again, so the wine has no taste at all, and may even affect the health of the wine.

Note:

The alcohol content of red wine is not high, because the alcohol content of red wine is determined by the sugar content of the grape juice contained in the wine, due to the influence of the process, the degree of red wine is generally between 7 degrees and 16 degrees, and rarely more than 20 degrees.

So for red wine above 10 degrees, although labeled with a shelf life, in essence, like white wine, there is no expiration date. That is to say, if it is 10 degrees above the unopened red wine expired is drinkable. And in the supermarket often buy alcohol in 10 to 13 degrees of red wine is best to be careful storage, because most of these wines are only suitable for cooking wine, and is not suitable for storage, buy the best short period of time after drinking.
