How to store opened bottle of red wine?

Some people may have the habit of drinking a glass of red wine before going to bed. Red wine not only helps people sleep, but also has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin. It also has many benefits to the human body. However, after a bottle of red wine is opened, it cannot be finished in one go. After the red wine is opened, the oxygen outside will enter the bottle. The red wine in the bottle reacts, thus affecting the taste of the wine. Therefore, after opening the red wine, we must use the correct storage method to ensure the texture of the red wine.

1. The wine cork is tightly closed.

If you don't plan to finish the bottle of wine from the beginning, then put the wine in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours before drinking it, or place it in a well-ventilated and cool place in your home. When pouring wine, only pour the amount you want to drink into the decanter and replace the cork immediately afterwards.

2. Use a wine preservative.

If the original wine cork is broken, a special wine cork can be used as a replacement. There are wine stoppers on the market that are specifically designed to isolate oxygen. They are not expensive and can be reused.

3. Stay away from light and heat.

Regardless of whether the wine has been opened, it should be placed away from light sources to prevent the wine from overheating and changing its flavor.

4. Store vertically.

Opened bottles of wine should not be stored horizontally and should not be moved too much, as this will reduce the wine's contact with air.

5. Exchange the large bottle for a small bottle.

In addition to being used for flower arrangement, the exquisite and compact wine bottle can also be used to store leftover wine. Divide opened large bottles of wine into smaller bottles to reduce the space between the wine and the cork.
