Wine also has a life cycle. Ordinary white wine usually has a life of two years. The first year after brewing is its best adolescence, and it begins to grow old in the second year. For example, the Beaujolais New Wine Festival means that the fresher the better, and this wine should not be stored for more than two years at most. However, the life cycle of a few wines can reach more than 10 years, and the life cycle of red wine is generally longer than that of white wine. Grape red wine can be stored for two or three years. For those wines that are suitable for aging, if they are properly preserved, the quality will not be too bad. Only when they are suitable for drinking can they enjoy their beautiful fragrance.
Once your wine has passed the drinking period, it is estimated that it will become tasteless when you drink it again. Different grape varieties and brands have different wine life cycles. The following is a simple reference:
Variety:
Spent 2-8 years in Danbo, Spain.
Ni Bihoreau in Piedmont, Italy, 4-20 years.
Served 2-8 years in Sanchovis, Italy.
4-20 years of Cabernet Sauvignon
Fire pit 3- 12 years
Merlot 2- 10 year
Black Pi Nuo wine for 2-8 years.
Sila 4- 16
Fairy powder for 2-6 years
Expensive rot for 5-25 years
Chardonnay 2-6 years
Riesling 2-30 years
Australia Hunter Valley Beauty Contest 6- 15
Scheininblanc, Shiraz, Loire Valley, France, 4-30 years.
Price:
500 yuan wine may not be suitable for aging, but table wine with a price of 100 yuan is definitely not suitable for aging. Therefore, it is best to buy wine with a price of 1000 yuan or more in a boutique winery.
Many people think that the longer the wine is preserved, the better. In fact, for those wines that can't stand aging, the longer they are preserved, it may not be a good thing. More than 90% of the wines on the market are suitable for drinking within 3 years. There are only a handful of red wines that can really be stored for decades. If the wine is left for too long, it may not have deteriorated or expired after the drinking period, but it is no longer in the proper state and is no longer suitable for drinking (just like coke without bubbles, it is no longer delicious).
Of course, even if a bottle of wine has a strong aging ability, it will be scrapped prematurely if it is not properly preserved. Wine storage is more important. Do not be too cold or too hot, and do not expose yourself to the sun. It should be kept in a cool and fixed place with constant temperature and humidity. Such as wine cellar, constant temperature wine cabinet and other places.
Red wine first appeared in Europe and was introduced to China through Eurasia. Mainly made of grapes or other fruits. The taste of dry red is mainly sour, astringent, fruity, woody and nutty. So how long should the shelf life of red wine be? How long does it take to stop drinking?
As we said above, semi-sweet, sweet and semi-dry wines have different shelf life in different periods due to different technologies. Most of our common' aged' wines are dry red. So the red wine we are talking about here is dry red.
The shelf life of red wine is generally ten years, but because red wine is mostly used for eating, it is far from the best drinking time. According to common sense, it can be drunk within the shelf life, because the bottle is sealed after canning, and most wines will be added with sulfur dioxide, which has bactericidal effect. So don't worry about not drinking for a long time.
Director Guo suggested here that low-priced dry red wine should not be too concerned about drinking time. This kind of wine is mostly drunk with meals. Just like us, not many people are with Maotai Wuliangye every day. If we have to consider the best drinking time, we need to look at the grape varieties. It is suggested to consider the tannin content of red wine of more than two grape varieties.
Tannin can be said to be the soul of wine, which really makes many people who try red wine for the first time suffer the first critical attack. Tannin comes from grape seeds, grape skins and oak barrels, and its main taste is sour and astringent. But after fermentation, it has become a deep and charming taste. The main factor that we consider the best drinking period of wine is tannin.
Grape varieties with high tannin content, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Danpo and Xiaoxila, are suitable for long-term preservation, and the best drinking time will be longer, about three to five years. Merlot, Zinfandai and other varieties have low tannin content and soft taste, which are suitable for drinking after storage for one or two years.
Red wine belongs to fruit fermented wine and is sensitive to sunlight and temperature. So most of the wine bottles we see are dark, also to avoid light at first. The temperature should be around 10, and it is best to lay flat or tilt 45 degrees when storing, but if it is ordinary red wine, it is not necessary to be too deliberate and avoid light.

In recent years, red wine has appeared more and more frequently on the table of China people. The alcohol content of red wine is much lower than that of white wine, only higher than that of ordinary beer, which is basically around 14. Therefore, drinking red wine is not easy to get drunk, and you can also taste the different taste brought by the accumulation of red grapes, which is also the main reason why red wine can accumulate a large number of fans.
As a wine fermented from grapes, red wine, together with yellow wine and beer, is called "the three ancient wines" in China. Wine making from grapes has a very long history. We are familiar with the phrase "night glass of wine, if you want to drink pipa, hurry immediately". This poem wine is to introduce the delicious taste of red wine.
First, the shelf life of red wine
The alcohol content of red wine exceeds 10. According to the statement that there is no need to indicate the shelf life when the alcohol content exceeds 10, red wine is not expired. However, in China, red wine will be marked with the expiration date, that is, the bottle will be marked with 8- 10 year.
After red wine is brewed, it will go through a period of Chen Fang to soften the tannins in red wine and give it a different flavor and taste. Therefore, many good red wines pay special attention to the year, which is why Lafite in 1982 is so sought after.
Second, the storage conditions of red wine
The storage of red wine is very particular about humidity, temperature and location. Even if it is not well preserved, it is likely to deteriorate and stink, thus affecting the drinking effect.
Red wine should be stored in a high humidity wine cellar, the temperature should be kept at about 10, and the bottled red wine should be stored at an inclination of 45, so that the wine can be soaked in oak plugs and will not enter the air to deteriorate the red wine.
Generally, the storage of red wine at home does not meet these conditions, and the bought red wine basically passes through Chen Fang, which is produced in the winery, and can be drunk in time.
Third, can red wine be drunk at home after a long storage time?
Do not drink red wine stored at home if:
1. The wine is turbid and has flocs: if you open the lid and find that the red wine stored at home is turbid and flocs, it means that this kind of red wine has gone bad, so it is best not to drink it.
2. There is an odor in the wine after trying: if the red wine stored for a long time is too sour after opening the lid, it will be sour and have a strange smell after entering. Don't drink it any more.
3. Look at the label of red wine: the quality of red wine is also good or bad. If the label of red wine says concentrated grape juice and syrup, then this red wine belongs to blending and storage is meaningless. If stored for a long time, it is likely to deteriorate, so it has no drinking value.
At present, most families store red wine. When we say red wine, we mostly mean wine, and of course, dry red and so on. Generally red wine, like wine, has a shelf life of ten years. With the increase of years, the quality of red wine will decline, especially if it is stored at home, rather than getting more fragrant with age. If stored for a long time, red wine can be drunk, but the taste is already very poor. Due to the limited storage conditions, it is not suitable for long-term storage at home.
Because the storage requirements of red wine are very high, the first thing to do is to avoid light. You can see that all the bottles of red wine are dark, avoiding strong light. The second is to control the constant temperature. Generally, the juice in red wine will not change at 10 degrees Celsius. For example, the main raw material of wine is grapes. If the temperature is too high, the juice will deteriorate and the taste will be much worse. Third, the angle of placement is very relevant. Generally, red wine should be tilted at a 45-degree angle. Big wineries and red wine are all stored in oak barrels, and they are all tilted.
Therefore, red wine (wine) should not be stored at home for a long time, and should be eaten as soon as possible during the shelf life.
This is my opinion, for reference only.
Old driver's point of view: wine can have no shelf life;
Wine mainly depends on the best drinking period. The higher the quality, the longer the best drinking period.
Wine needs ideal storage conditions.
Therefore, how long this situation lasts depends on the quality and storage conditions of your wine.
Wine can have no shelf life. Food and drinks will have a shelf life, but wine belongs to alcohol.
In fact, the shelf life is equivalent to the manufacturer's commitment to society. It does not mean that once the product has passed the shelf life, the product will deteriorate. During the warranty period, the production enterprise shall be responsible for the quality and safety problems of the products produced and sold by the production enterprise. If consumers eat expired food themselves and have any adverse reactions, manufacturers will no longer be responsible.
However, wine is generally above 12 degree, so as long as it is well sealed, it will not deteriorate, causing drinking safety problems.
Wine mainly depends on the best drinking period, but unlike other highly alcoholic beverages, its flavor substances can last for a long time. Wine is alive. That is, from the green flavor in production to the mature flavor, and finally to aging, the color, aroma and taste are all degraded, but the drinking safety will not be damaged.
So wine has the concept of an optimal drinking period. This optimal drinking period varies with the quality of wine. The higher the quality of wine, the longer the best drinking period, and vice versa.
Wine needs ideal storage conditions. The best drinking time mentioned above actually needs an ideal storage condition. For example, at high temperature, wine will age quickly. In another year, maybe in a few days, I will be old.
We can choose these to store wine under daily conditions. Each bottle of red wine has detailed instructions on the label paper. The instructions clearly indicate the production date and shelf life of this bottle of red wine, and also specify the storage conditions of red wine, as long as you follow the instructions.
If you have opened a bottle of red wine, you should finish it as soon as possible. The instructions on the red wine bottle also say "drink as soon as possible after opening the bottle." It is these words that get drunk as soon as possible that make people really "puzzled" and don't know what to do.
Drink a few words as soon as possible, not only the instructions on the red wine bottle, but also the instructions on various beverage bottles. So what is the concept of drinking as soon as possible and how long? Many explanations are unclear.
According to my experience, if it is winter, a bottle of red wine should be finished within three days after opening, and the red wine bottle should be plugged with a special stopper for red wine distribution. If it is spring or autumn, a bottle of red wine should be drunk within two days after opening, and the bottle body of red wine should also be plugged with a special plug for red wine distribution. If it is summer, a bottle of red wine should be finished within eight hours after opening.
The above is just my personal experience, without textual research or reference to any relevant information. This is how I drink red wine.
It's a new year in a blink of an eye, and the Spring Festival is coming soon. Presumably, many friends have begun to prepare new year's goods at home. At this time, we will find that there is still red wine left over from last year, so can we drink red wine after one year? Today Xiaowan will share with you the preservation and drinking time of red wine.
Most friends must know that wine treasures are often kept in wine cellars, but now many families don't have wine cellars, so we should keep red wine in a cool, ventilated and dry environment, and remember not to put it in places with high temperature and humidity.
At the same time, long-term storage of red wine will definitely give off some wine flavor. In order to ensure its pure fragrance, we can keep it in a wine box.
After our red wine is opened, its best drinking time should be about a week. If it exceeds this time, the smell of wine often has been emitted and there is no taste.
So if you opened the remaining half of the red wine and left it at home for a year, it will become a drink now.
If we keep the wine properly at home and never drink it in Kaifeng, it will be fine even if we keep it for a year or two. Therefore, the problem that some friends were worried about just now does not exist at all. Let's continue to get high in the new year.
Wine is usually marked on the bottle: the shelf life is ten years. In fact, this is marked as required. In fact, red wine can be preserved for a long time, just like white wine.
But all wines have a proper storage and drinking period. The taste of wine will be greatly affected if it exceeds the drinking period or is not properly preserved.
Domestic red wine, especially entry-level wine, will precipitate after two years, so many people say that the drinking period of domestic red wine is within two years, which is actually a bit biased. Domestic high-end red wine can also be preserved for a long time, and the drinking period is five or six years.
The ingredients list of imported red wine is only grape juice, and there is nothing else about sulfur dioxide. The common degree is 12- 15, but we can't simply say that low-alcohol wine is not as good as high-alcohol wine. Lafite and Penfolds both have 12, which is still very good and expensive! But in terms of drinking period, it is also different. It's the same red wine 12 degrees. Most of the drinking period on the market is two or three years. The drinking period of good wine is long, which is related to the storage conditions and storage time of wine! I probably remember the appearance of ordinary brands for three years and five years, and high-end brands for five years and eight years. If you want to know the exact information, you should go to official website to find different answers. Wine in the new world is different from wine in the old world. The wine in the same country may be different.
Let me talk about a wine stopper. Many people think that oak stopper is better than screw-top wine, but it is not. New world wines like to use screw caps, mainly because the sealing effect is better, and there are also some meanings to distinguish the styles of old world wines. Oak plugs are also synthetic, which is very cheap and "rubbish". Red wine and white wine are preserved in different ways. Red wine is stored lying down, and white wine is always standing! Red wine is stored flat to keep the body close to the oak stopper to keep the bottle sealed, but some wines are soaked and the oak stopper will produce slag! Destroy the beauty and taste of wine! In addition to better sealing performance than oak plugs, screw caps also have the advantage of being stored repeatedly, so you don't have to stuff oak plugs into bottles! Just tighten it!
The wine will not expire. Wine itself is a fermented product, and the longer it takes, the more mellow it becomes. Those wines last a long time, and so does red wine. You can bury it underground for decades and let your grandson dig it out.
The shelf life of red wine under sealed and normal temperature is generally 10 years or 12 years. This should be marked on the packaging of red wine, and it is also one of the contents that must be marked on red wine products. So if you have red wine at home, you should know when it was produced and find out the shelf life. What should I do if I open the red wine stored at home and don't drink it all at once? I'm telling you, it's best to finish the unpacked red wine at once. If you really can't finish drinking, you should put the cork back into the bottle mouth for refrigeration, but the time should not exceed two to three days. If you can't finish it in about three days, you must dump it.
In addition, many people brew their own red wine by buying grapes. Due to different family conditions, brewing conditions, procedures, disinfection measures, packaging methods and measures, it is difficult to determine the shelf life. Under normal circumstances, the shelf life of your own brewed red wine is about three months at most. Don't keep homemade wine or red wine for too long.
In addition, the management of food in our country is very strict, because it is related to people's life safety. When we buy food, store food or eat food, we must find out the production date and shelf life of food, the main raw materials of processed food and who is the manufacturer. Where is the address? There are also some main information such as contact information. Once problems are found, we can make complaints and reports based on this information to safeguard our legitimate rights and interests.
