Today, I will share the detailed steps and precautions for making plum wine at home. I will also share with you how to make plum wine more delicious, while focusing on the shelf life of plum wine.
First, the materials we need to prepare include plums, sugar, white wine and a sealed bottle. The choice of plums is very important. We should choose plums with smooth skin and plump fruits to ensure the taste of the wine. After washing the plums, we can score a few cuts on the surface of the plums to release more fragrance and juice. Then, we mix plums and sugar in a certain ratio. We can adjust the ratio of sugar according to our own taste. For example, I like a sweeter taste, so I will put more sugar. The mixture of sugar and plums needs to be stirred evenly, then sealed and placed in a cool and ventilated place, waiting for the plums to release their juice.
Next, we need to soak the plums in white wine. Generally speaking, you can choose liquor with a temperature above 45 degrees, which can better dissolve the nutrients and aroma in the plums. We need to put the plums and white wine in a sealed bottle, seal the bottle mouth again, and then gently shake it several times to mix the plums and white wine evenly. Next, we just need to wait for the plum wine to ferment naturally. Generally speaking, the fermentation time of plum wine takes about one month. During this process, we need to gently shake the sealed bottle every day, so that the plums and white wine can be better integrated.
While waiting, a cup of delicious plum wine has become a highlight of the gatherings of my family and friends. We can make some homemade small wine glasses at home, and then invite relatives and friends to taste this delicious cup of plum wine and share what we have made with our own hands. of fine wine.

Regarding the shelf life of plum wine, I think this is a particularly important issue. Good plum wine needs to be stored properly to maintain its original flavor and taste. Generally speaking, we should store plum wine in a cool and ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and excessive temperature. In addition, during the storage process, we should pay special attention to the sealing performance of the sealed bottle to prevent air from entering the bottle. This can prevent the flavor of plum wine from being affected and can also extend the storage period of plum wine.
During the production process, we must pay attention to the shelf life of plum wine, so as to ensure the quality and taste of plum wine.

Plum wine is a very popular traditional Japanese alcoholic beverage. It is made from plums pickled with sugar and alcohol. Plum wine has a sweet taste and a light fruity flavor, making it perfect to accompany a meal or as an after-dinner drink. However, many people are not very clear about the storage and shelf life of plum wine. This article will introduce in detail the shelf life of plum wine and how to store plum wine in cold storage.
First, let us understand how long the shelf life of plum wine is. Generally speaking, the shelf life of plum wine depends on its preparation method and storage conditions. If you make homemade plum wine, it can generally be stored for 3 to 5 years. Commercially made plum wine can be stored for a longer period of time, usually for more than 10 years if unopened. However, once the plum wine is opened, it needs to be consumed within a short period of time, otherwise its taste and quality will be affected.
The preservation method of plum wine is very important, as it directly affects the quality and taste of the wine. Here’s how to store plum wine refrigerated.
First, plum wine should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and high temperatures. High temperature will cause the plum wine to deteriorate, and direct sunlight will cause the wine to change color and produce an odor. Therefore, it is best to store plum wine in a cool place, such as the bottom of a cupboard or the cold compartment of the refrigerator.
Secondly, try to avoid moving the plum wine frequently. Plum wine is a fermented wine and requires a stable environment during storage. Therefore, when storing plum wine, try to avoid frequently moving or shaking the bottle to avoid any impact on the plum wine.
Third, if the plum wine has been opened, you should drink it as soon as possible. Because after opening the plum wine will be exposed to the air, which will affect its quality and taste. To extend the shelf life of your plum wine, try pouring it into small bottles and keeping it airtight to reduce exposure to air.
Finally, if the plum wine has been opened and cannot be consumed within a short period of time, consider storing it in the freezer of the refrigerator. Put the plum wine into a sealed bottle and store it in a cold environment. This can effectively extend the shelf life of plum wine while maintaining its taste and flavor.
In summary, plum wine is a very popular wine with a sweet taste and light fruity flavor. In order to extend the shelf life of plum wine, we can store it in a cool, dry place, avoid moving the plum wine frequently, and drink it as soon as possible after opening or store it in the freezer. I hope this article will be helpful on the storage and shelf life of plum wine, so that everyone can better enjoy this delicious traditional Japanese wine.
