If it is stored for too long, the color of the wine will darken, and the wine with higher sugar content will be more serious; the aroma will change from mellow to fruity, which is the mellow aroma generated by the combination of acid and alcohol, and it will emit a burnt smell; and the taste will change from mellow to light. However, if the black dates wine is made from high-quality rice wine, it can be stored for a long time.
