Storing an Open Bottle of Red Wine
Red wine should be stored properly to prevent deterioration and maintain the flavor.
Steps for Storing an Open Bottle of Red Wine
- Store your open bottle of red wine in a cool, dark place.
- Store the bottle on its side to keep the cork moist, which helps to prevent oxygen from getting into the wine.
- Place the bottle in the refrigerator to slow the oxidation process.
- Remove the bottle from the refrigerator an hour before you plan to drink it, allowing it to warm up to optimize the flavor.
- Pour the bottle into a decanter or carafe to further remove it from oxygen exposure and to remove sediment from the wine.
- If you cannot drink the bottle in one sitting, pour the remaining wine into a smaller bottle and cork it. Store it in the refrigerator.
