How long does red wine last?
How long your red wine will last after you have opened it will depend on the type of red wine you’re drinking. Generally speaking, a fuller-bodied wine will last for up to four days when sealed and stored in a cool, dark space. Generally, wines with a higher acidity level and more tannins will last longer than those with lower levels.
If you’re wondering how long red wine lasts before opening then you can count on your wine staying perfect for a couple of years, as long as the conditions you are storing it within are right.
What is the best way to store red wine?
A wine cellar is a cool, dark and slightly humid environment ideally suited to storing red wine because there is very little in the way of environmental factors that influence the consistency of those conditions. However, not all wines need to be stored in a cellar, and most young are even made to be enjoyed immediately.
Is red wine good for your health?
The motto ‘everything in moderation’ fits red wine as well as it does everything else we enjoy.
While some health studies have cited evidence that states a single glass of red wine every day may have benefits for maintaining heart health, it is important that you check with a medical professional regarding your individual circumstances.
In any case, The Wine Collective supports and recommends that alcohol only be consumed in moderation.
