All products have their own shelf life. Generally speaking, you can’t eat anything after the shelf life. We often see labels for domestic wines that have a shelf life of 10 years. So, is there a shelf life for wine?
As a beverage, if the shelf life of a wine does not reveal its true meaning, then it should be the life of the wine. There is a term for the shelf life of wine, but in foreign countries, wine does not have a shelf life, but a drinking life.
Bottled wine has a maximum shelf life of 30 years, and short bottles have a maximum shelf life of 5 years. Once a bottle of wine is opened, it is best to drink it within 3 days. It is best to drink your own wine within 1 year. Over time, the taste will fade, but it will not harm your health.
The best time to drink white and pink wines is 1-3 years. Red wines are best after 3 years, but the older they are, the better. Because wine is not white wine or other foreign distilled spirits such as brandy, vodka, gin and rum.
As we can see from the above, there is a lot to know about wine preservation. The shelf life of wine depends on the specific circumstances. Wines made from different vintages of grapes have different flavors and are stored in different environments.
The vintage printed on the bottle refers to when the wine was produced, not when it was bottled, and tastes vary from person to person. Therefore, it is impossible to define the shelf life of a bottle of wine. We can only take care to preserve it. Refer to some wine related data. Don’t store it for too long. Just open the bottle and enjoy it at the right time.
Suggested storage locations: under the bed, in the garage, in the closet, in the cellar, etc.
