Dry white wine shelf life_How long is the shelf life of white wine

The shelf life of dry white wine is relatively long, and there is no so-called shelf life for wine. We all know that the longer the wine is stored, the purer it is and the better it tastes. Therefore, high-quality wines can be kept for 40 to 50 years. This is mainly for foreign wines, while domestic wines generally have to be consumed after a shelf life of about 10 years.

Can I still drink expired white wine?

The shelf life of wine is an imprecise concept. If it is within the shelf life, then the quality is fine. If it is past the shelf life, then there is a quality problem and it cannot be drunk. In fact, wine that has passed its expiration date can still be drunk. There is no shelf life indicated on the wine labels of foreigners, and there is no concept of shelf life.

According to the Chinese people's understanding, wine within its shelf life should be clear, not turbid or have any sediment, and its taste should also be the best. Wine that has exceeded its shelf life may become cloudy and precipitate, and its taste quality may deteriorate, but it is still drinkable.

How long is the shelf life of white wine?

The shelf life of high-quality wine can be as long as 20 years, and even up to 40 or 50 years for famous wineries. It will not deteriorate and its flavor will remain the same.

Domestic wines generally become severely sour before they are 10 years old, even though there may be no turbidity or the appearance of crystals or flocs from the outside.

How to tell if white grapes are expired

The best way is to open the bottle and taste it. If it tastes okay, you can drink it. If it smells spicy, musty, or has a strong vinegar taste, don't drink it.

In addition, when opening the bottle, pay attention to the sound of the cork and the material of the cork, pay attention to whether it is breathable, and observe the situation of the cork absorbing the wine; if it is a pure cork, and the liquid does not seep out along the outer edge of the cork for a long distance upward, the chance of being able to drink it is relatively high; if it is a synthetic cork or the cork has obvious signs of upward soaking, the chance of being able to drink it is very small. The condition of the cork can be observed after tearing off the wine cap, even without opening the bottle.

What to do if white wine is expired

1. Cooking magic

For example, when cooking beef and mutton in daily life, you will find that the fresh pieces of meat you buy always have obvious blood.

If you want to remove the blood, you have to blanch the meat. The meat will become a little tougher, and it will become dry, lean, and not chewy, and most of the nutrients will be lost. But if you have a bottle of unfinished red wine. Pour the wine into the pot until it covers the meat, let it soak for 15-30 minutes, depending on the amount of meat, then cook as normal.

The moment you lift the lid is the moment you witness the magic. Red wine can not only remove all the blood in the meat, but the tannin in the red wine will react with the protein in the meat to soften the taste of the meat. The light aroma of the wine will also penetrate into the meat from all directions without any fishy smell. A meaty and delicious meat dish is ready.
