How to preserve good wine at home?

Generally speaking, what we call good wine mainly refers to red wine, white wine, and foreign wine. In fact, they can be subdivided into many types. Different wines need to be stored according to different storage conditions. .

Let’s first talk about red bars, which are now more accepted by the general public. Storage temperature, humidity, light, placement angle, etc. will all affect the quality of red wine.

Temperature: The identification card on the outside of many red wines will state what kind of environment is suitable for storage. If the requirements are stricter, it is generally more appropriate to store at a temperature of 16 to 18 degrees Celsius. If you are in the south, if you leave it indoors in hot weather, it will easily cause the quality of the red wine to deteriorate due to excessive temperature and excessive oxidation. If possible, you can build your own basement, or purchase a special air-conditioning system and wine cabinet to ensure the appropriate storage temperature and keep the temperature constant, so that you can access it when you need to drink.

Humidity: There was a time when the weather here was back to the south, and the air humidity was relatively high, so I didn’t pay attention at the time. Later, when I went to pick up the wine one night, I discovered that although there was a circle of patent leather on the seal of the red wine, after I opened it, mold had grown on the cork... When I was tasting the wine, I felt that the wine tasted a bit more pungent than usual. Astringent... So when storing, you also need to pay attention to the humidity and temperature. Too dry or too wet is not good. Generally, the humidity needs to be controlled at around 60%.

Light: Generally, foreign wine cellars are placed underground, without strong sunlight or violent vibrations. Generally, you will see a prompt to protect from light, so there is nothing to pay too much attention to.

Placement: For long-term storage of red wine, it is best to place the wine bottle flat so that the cork and the wine can fully contact and avoid the entry of outside air. At the same time, it can also avoid precipitation caused by vertical storage, which affects the taste...

If you don't have these conditions, just throw it in the refrigerator...Don't worry about these details...

To be honest , I haven’t had many good wines. Some of them were kept in the homes of friends who sold wine. Then they found out that my father drank them and gave them to my father to drink. The older the wines become, the more mellow they become.

When preserving this type of wine, you need to first pay attention to whether the wine you buy is real wine or fake wine? You must know that there are more fake wines on the market than real wines...

When storing, because the current wine lids generally use plastic lids or aluminum metal lids, it will be very difficult to store them for a long time. It is easy to corrode slowly due to time... So the first step that needs to be done is to make the seal tighter. Generally, the cap is tightened, and then a layer of wax is used to seal the mouth of the original bottle cap.

Others are actually similar to red wine, but the corresponding temperature and humidity have changed. Chinese liquor can be subdivided into many types. I will not introduce in detail which method should be used for each type of liquor. The easiest thing is to put it under the bed.
