How to Store Opened Wine
Opening a bottle of wine often comes with a quiet question in the back of your mind, How long is this going to be good for? Maybe you only wanted one glass. Maybe you opened two bottles to compare. Or maybe dinner ended earlier than expected and now there’s half a bottle sitting on the counter. The good news is that opened wine doesn’t immediately “go bad.” But it does change — and knowing how and why helps you enjoy it longer without guessing.
