Most people store some red wine in their homes because it is the perfect choice for guest gifts. But sometimes stored for too long will forget to drink, resulting in its best shelf life, then people will struggle to see if they can continue to drink.
Some people believe that red wine that has not been opened cannot be drunk after expiration and should be thrown away directly. Some people think that it is possible to drink. So, what is the answer? Can I drink unopened but expired red wine?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > red wine that has not been opened, can it still be drunk after expiration? </h1>
1. Shelf life of red wine
The shelf life of red wine is not an exact concept. In fact, red wine that has passed its shelf life can still be drunk. In China, according to the relevant laws and regulations, it is necessary to indicate the shelf life of red wine. However, the shelf life is not indicated in foreign countries, and there is no such concept.
According to the date of shipment, the best drinking period for red wine is generally 5-6 years. Most red wines have a drinking period of less than 5 years, a few are 5-10 years, and those with more than 10 years can be said to be very few.
Drinking period and shelf life can not be equated, for red wine, people pay more attention to its drinking period rather than shelf life.
2. The difference between open and unopened red wine
Although mentioned above, expired red wine does not affect drinking, but only if the bottle is not opened. Therefore, the open bottle of expired red wine is a different matter.
Generally, after opening the bottle of ordinary red wine, it is best to drink it within 4-6 hours, and the longest time should not exceed 24 hours, otherwise it will affect the taste.
Red wine that has been opened for 2-3 days will deteriorate if it is not well preserved, and it will not be drunk.

1. Storage location
Should be placed in a place where the temperature is appropriate.
2. Storage time
In order to extend the storage time of red wine, after opening the bottle, you should first use the pump to extract the air in the bottle, and then stuff back the wooden stopper, and put the bottle upright in a cool and ventilated place.
3. Change the bottle for storage
Large bottles of red wine can be divided into several small bottles, filled as much as possible, and then blocked the mouth with a cork. It can reduce the oxygen in the bottle and delay the oxidation time of red wine.
4. Store at a temperature
The optimal temperature for storing red wine is 10-15 ° C.
If the preservation environment exceeds 25 ° C, the red wine will lose its taste; if the temperature is too low, the red wine will expand, and the wine will overflow, and the cork stopper will be pushed out of the bottle mouth, resulting in red wine being oxidized and bacteria breeding.
5. Tips for using expired spoiled red wine
Expired, spoiled, leftover red wine can also be used in other aspects, such as as condiments, or for masks and baths, etc., are good methods.
Summary: In fact, there is no concept of shelf life for red wine, only a drinking period. That is to say, as long as the red wine that has not been opened is within the drinking period, even after the shelf life, some studies have shown that it can still be drunk. However, opened bottles of red wine, it is best to drink within 4-6 hours to ensure a delicious taste.
