Champagnes and wines are the perfect drinks if you want to have liquor, but cannot hold too much of it. They also form the best ‘after-dinner’ drinks. However, many-a-times, it has been seen that all the bottles of wine do not get consumed in a party, whatever be the reason. As long as the bottle has not been opened, it is okay. The problem arises when a bottle has been opened, but its contents are only partially consumed. Now, comes the question as to how to keep wine in an open bottle, without letting it get spoilt. In order to help you with this task, we have provided a number of tips in the lines below. Just follow them and make sure your open wine bottle remains drinkable even after sometime.
Tips for Keeping an Open Wine Bottle
- Always remember to open the bottle carefully and save the cork. After you have had your share of wine, put the cork back on the top and secure it nicely.
- If you have broken the cork while opening the bottle or misplaced it, purchase plastic bottle stopper. It will help in keeping the frizz of the wine alive for sometime.
- Make use of a spray preserver or vacuum pump. While the vacuum pump sucks the air out of the bottle, the spray forces the air out and leaves a blanket of inert gases to pamper the wine.
- Always keep the open bottle of wine in a cool place. You can also keep it in the fridge, but make sure not to freeze it. Please do not leave it on the kitchen counter.
- Finally, remember that all wines do not last after being opened. On an average, red wines last longer than white wines. In any case, a week is the maximum time that can be given to an open wine bottle.
