Wine should be stored at a temperature of 8-20Co (the ideal temperature is around 13Co) and a relative humidity of 70%-75% for bottled wine. Homemade wine has a shelf life of only one or two months. Long white hairs in the wine and a bad odor in the wine indicate that the wine has been infected by stray bacteria, so you can't drink it anymore, or it will cause illness.

Homemade wine after clarification is close to finished wine. But if you want to keep it for a longer period of time and have a better and more flavorful taste, then you need to age it. Smaller containers are recommended for aging because it is best to drink the wine in a short period of time after it is opened. You can use cola bottles or old red wine bottles.

Red wine, on the other hand, is better after 3 years, but not the older the better. Mainly because wine is not like white wine or other distilled spirits such as gin, homemade wine sealing is not very good, so it is not easy to drink for a long time, generally within three years to drink for the best. The long period of time will not only affect the taste, but also harmful to the body.

The best way to drink home-brewed wine is to finish it within a year. The taste will fade over time, but it won't be harmful to your health. It is best to store the bottle diagonally, with the cork swollen with moisture and impermeable to avoid contact with air and oxidation. Place the wine at a temperature of about 0 ℃ is more conducive to storage.
