Expiry Date of Alcohol: Although the consumption of alcohol is injurious to health, but you must have often heard some people saying that the older the wine, the better it is. If so, have you ever thought that once the bottle is opened, will the wine never go bad? YavDoes liquor have an expiry date? There are many such questions, whose correct answers are not known to most of the people. So let’s know:
White wine
White wine usually tastes best the day you open it. But after a day, you may notice that the flavor is a bit weak and not much better. That’s why you can keep an open bottle of white wine for just one day. However, higher-acid wines (like Riesling) will last a little longer—about two to three days. And it is always important to keep the cork on the bottle before putting it in the fridge.
Red wine
It is said that ‘the older the red wine, the better it gets’. But this is true in cases where the wine is more acidic and contains more tannins. Light red wines are best consumed within a day or two. But a stronger red wine will last a little longer, about three to four days. In some cases though, the wine tastes even better when you drink it a few days after opening it! Explain that by keeping open bottles of red wine in the fridge, they last longer.
Bubbly
When it comes to bubbly wine, a little bit of haste is needed because it’s tastier once the cork is popped. Champagne or Cava will last a bit longer than prosecco.
Sweet wine
Sweet wine often only keeps for a few days before losing its flavor. Let us tell you that there are also fortified wines like Port, Sherry and Madeira. Actually, after opening the bottle, this wine will last only for a while. So be sure to store all of these wines in a cool, dry place.
