How to preserve the wine?

Choosing wine means choosing elegance. How can a quality life be without delicious wine? Wine promotes blood circulation in the human body. Drinking it has a beautifying effect on women and can also help to soothe one's mood. The preservation of wine after it is made is very important, otherwise it will affect the taste. There are some things that need to be paid attention to when storing wine for a long time. How to preserve the brewed wine? Let’s learn it next.

1. How to preserve wine

1 Lay flat

It is ideal to place the wine flat so that the cork and the wine are in contact to keep it moist. Otherwise, if the wine is placed upright for too long, the cork will become dry and brittle, and will not be able to completely close the bottle, causing oxidation of the wine.

2 Constant temperature

The temperature of the wine storage environment should be maintained at a constant temperature of 12-15°C[15]. Otherwise, if the temperature changes too much, it will not only damage the body of the wine, but also affect the cork due to the effects of cold contraction and thermal expansion, causing wine leakage. Therefore, if the wine storage environment can be maintained at a temperature between 5-20 degrees and within a variation of ±2 degrees, it is also ideal.

However, during the high temperatures of summer, without any auxiliary conditions (constant temperature cabinets, cellars, etc.), the wine should be stored at a constant temperature, such as 26 degrees, within a range of ±2 degrees. This will ensure that the quality of the wine is not greatly affected within a few months. When storing wine at home, you should be careful about the use of air conditioning.

3 Constant humidity

If the wine storage environment is too humid, it will easily cause the cork and wine label to rot. If it is too dry, the cork will easily lose its elasticity and be unable to seal the bottle tightly. Therefore, a humidity of around 70 is the best wine storage environment.

4. Ventilation

Wine, like a sponge, will absorb the surrounding smells into the bottle. Therefore, in the wine storage environment, it is best to keep ventilation, and also avoid placing things with strong smells in the same environment, so as not to destroy the taste of the wine.

5. Avoid light

It is best not to have any light in the wine storage environment, otherwise the wine will easily deteriorate. In particular, fluorescent light can easily cause the wine to undergo reduction changes and emit a strong and unpleasant smell.

6Shock Absorption

The effect of vibration on wine is unpredictable. Minor vibration can be ignored, but violent vibration will put the wine into a state of shock, destroying the internal molecular structure of the wine, accelerating the maturation and aging of the wine, and making the taste of the wine dull and messy. Wine that has been strongly shaken can generally restore its previous taste after being left to stand for a period of time.
