How to handle an unfinished bottle of wine?

[mrdutton]

If you search all of the message topics in this forum, you should find many answers to your question.

I think one of the best is:

Find a small container that will hold the wine that is left-over to the point were the container is virtually over-flowing. Cap the container with a cork or plug so that some of the wine does spill out.

This way, you will have NO air bubble in the container.

Store the container in your refrigerator. When you are ready to drink it again, remove the container and let it warm-up to the desired drinking temperature, depending on whether or not it is red or white wine.

You can store your wine this way for about 5 to 7 days. But I would not store it much longer than this, that is for sure.

The key point here is to keep oxygen away from the wine. When wine oxydizes, it degrades quickly and can soon turn into a good salad dressing vinegar.

I hope this answer helps you.........
