There are many kinds of red wine, all grades. Although the preservation method is roughly similar, it will be slightly different. After opening a bottle of red wine, you should first read the instructions at the back and ask how you stored it.
The temperature at which red wine is stored is very important.
Red wine is best stored in an environment below 20 degrees. If it is winter, or in the north, as long as the indoor temperature does not exceed 20 degrees, don't store it in the refrigerator.
Be careful not to let the sun shine directly.
Even if the indoor temperature is ok, it should be placed in a cool and ventilated place. Don't put it by the window. Direct sunlight will warm up red wine. It will also accelerate the deterioration of red wine and affect the taste.
Prevent crosstalk in the refrigerator.
If the temperature at home is high, you need to put red wine in the refrigerator. It is best to put it in a separate box, or wrap other foods in the refrigerator with plastic wrap to prevent other flavors from being mixed with red wine.
Turn the bottle upside down.
There is a small shelf in the market for red wine bottles. After the bottle is put on, it is tilted. This is to put the red wine upside down without touching the stopper. So the taste of red wine will not change.
Drink as soon as possible after opening the bottle.
Although red wine can be stored after opening a bottle, the best taste is the first time it is opened. If you can finish it, try to finish it as soon as possible, or you can find more friends to drink together and finish it all at once.
