When it comes to wine, China is also a country with a long history. Since ancient times, many scholars and poets have loved drinking. Li Bai composed a hundred poems after drinking wine. Wine is also a seasoning in our daily life. Bringing a wine cabinet into your home and making life more charming is also a nice life experience.
Here are some tips on red wine storage:
Regarding the shelf life of red wine: Red wine is not necessarily better the older it is. The year indicated on red wine refers to the time it was made. 99% of wines do not have the ability to age. The best drinking period varies depending on the wine, generally ranging from 2 to 10 years
Only a small number of particularly fine wines have the ability to age. Some top-quality red wines from France and Italy have an aging potential of several decades or even over a hundred years.
Many wines from the top chateaux in Bordeaux, France, have been preserved for over a century and are still suitable for drinking. Due to geographical factors and its characteristics, Cabernet Sauvignon is the most suitable for aging among many grape varieties.
The optimal storage temperatures for different wines:
Semi-sweet and sweet red wines: 14-16℃
Dry red wine at 16-22℃
Semi-dry red wine at 16-18℃
Dry white wine at 8-10℃
Semi-dry white wine at 8-12℃
Semi-sweet and sweet white wine at 10-12℃
Brandy at a temperature below 15℃
Champagne (sparkling wine) : 5-9℃
The general theoretical storage temperature is around 12℃, and 7 to 18℃ is also acceptable. It is necessary to avoid light as much as possible, as ultraviolet rays can cause wine to mature prematurely.
