Four-year-old red wine is of high quality and can be drunk.

High-quality red wines, such as top wines from Bordeaux and Lafite, can be stored for about ten years under good storage conditions before reaching the drinking period.

As for ordinary wines with low to medium price and average wine quality, they cannot be stored for a long time. The longer the storage time, the more the quality of the wine will decline, so it is suitable for early drinking.

Experts said that the so-called "deterioration" may mean that the wine has passed its best drinking period, and the wine has become rough or has a sour and bitter taste. If some wine enters the air due to improper storage, the wine will deteriorate. If it really goes bad, the wine can no longer be drunk. Extended information

Notes on the storage of red wine:

1. The shelf life of red wine: The older the vintage, the better the red wine. The vintage on the red wine refers to the year it was brewed. Most (99) wines do not have the ability to age, and the best drinking period varies depending on the wine, generally between 2 and 10 years. Only a small number of particularly good wines have the ability to age.

2. Room temperature: Room temperature usually refers to the temperature of the place of origin, not the room temperature in China. For French wine, room temperature usually refers to around 16 to 18 degrees Celsius. For China, which has a vast territory, most of the temperature needs to be refrigerated except in the cold winter. Never leave wine at room temperature, as it is taken for granted that it is "room temperature".
