Wine has been around for thousands of years. From the ancient Romans to modern Americans, this lavish drink is enjoyed worldwide. Nowadays, most people simply buy their wine from the local grocery store, oblivious to how to properly store the wine to make sure it lasts as long as possible.
Store opened white wine in a wine cellar or closet. If you do not have one, put it in the fridge. This will generally only keep the wine for three to five days if you have already opened it, though there are ways to ensure it stays good for longer:
- Minimize it's exposure to air. Cork the bottle tightly. If there is only a little bit of wine left, try transferring it to a smaller bottle.
- Keep it away from excess amounts of light and heat. If you have multiple refrigerators, put it in the one that is used the least. If you only have one, try not to leave the fridge open for extended periods of time.
- Purchase a wine stopper and pump.
Keep dessert wines like Sauternes, most everyday Ports and most Sherries for longer. They will resist degradation for more than 3-5 days, though exactly how long depends on the individual wine.
