Red wine is the favorite of many people, but once opened, attention must be paid to storage issues. The storage temperature of red wine should be around 12 degrees, and red wine is not suitable for storage in the refrigerator, and storage must be done in a light-proof, shock-proof, and noise-proof manner.

1. It is best not to store red wine in the refrigerator. Many people think that red wine is a wine that can be stored for a long time, and the refrigerator can preserve it, so putting unopened red wine in the refrigerator is sure to keep it fresh for a long time. However, this is a big misconception. The storage of red wine emphasizes constant temperature, humidity, light-proofing, shock-proofing, and noise-proofing, and the storage temperature of red wine should be around 12°C, and it is strictly forbidden to change cold and hot. The working principle of the refrigerator is intermittent, first cooling, stopping after cooling to the set temperature, and then continuing to cool after the temperature rises to a certain degree.

2. Such repeated temperature changes can greatly damage the quality of wine, even to the extent that if the temperature is too low, ice crystals may form in the wine, leaving the bottle of wine with only the most basic wine flavor. Therefore, the storage of wine, especially expensive wine bought by oneself or given by friends, is best stored in a wine cellar, professional wine cabinet, or other places with constant temperature and humidity. If there is none, it can also be placed in a cool place under the bed or in a cellar, but not in the refrigerator.

3. However, it is a waste to throw away leftover wine, so it is better to put it in the refrigerator for a short time. The best storage method is to divide it into small bottles, seal it airtight; or use a stopper that can remove air. After these methods are processed, it is best to store them in a cool place, and drink them within a week, which can basically maintain most of the original taste of the wine. If all the above conditions cannot be met, it is best to drink it within two or three days after placing it in the refrigerator; do not place it too close to meat or seasoning food, as other food flavors may seep into the wine.
