And that&#8217;s okay, because it won&#8217;t go to waste if you apply a few of our tips.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our tips for making the most of it!<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<b>Tips and best practices<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naturally, the first thing to do is to recork the bottle immediately after serving. Today, there are hermetically sealed glass stoppers that fit perfectly into standard bottle necks and are also very practical. And if you&#8217;ve opted for a wine with a screw cap, it&#8217;s even better!  <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This advice applies in particular to <a href=\"https:\/\/vin-champagne.ouest-france.fr\/comment-choisir-un-vin-blanc\/\">white wines<\/a>. It&#8217;s best to keep them in a cool, dark place, as this can be detrimental to them if you want to finish them off later. So the refrigerator door is the perfect place to retreat.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We also recommend keeping bottles in a cool place, as this method of preservation applies equally well to wine and food. Don&#8217;t forget to take the bottle out 30 minutes before serving, so that it can slowly rise to the desired temperature.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the most avid of wine lovers, if you have a pump to evacuate the bottle, this is ideal. Especially if less than half the wine is left. The more air is enclosed, the greater the risk of oxidation. Once the air has been evacuated from the bottle, you can store it for two or three days longer in a cool place.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last but not least, to avoid wasting the contents of your bottle, use it in the kitchen. The better the wine, the better the sauce!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4><b>Mistakes not to be made  <\/b><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;ve opened a corked bottle, it&#8217;s unfortunately not usable, not even in the kitchen. It will be for your own good&#8230;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not leave your bottle in a room at room temperature. Whether you&#8217;re talking about a bottle of red or white wine, light and heat are the sworn enemies of wine, and they&#8217;ll get the better of you.  <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many do, and yet&#8230; don&#8217;t put the cork back on the bottle once it&#8217;s opened. Throw it away if it&#8217;s not from a very prestigious and unique bottle. If you do, you risk introducing bacteria into the bottle.  <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;ve decanted your wine during a meal and there&#8217;s still a significant amount left, don&#8217;t leave it in the decanter. Carefully pour the remaining wine into the bottle so that it can be finished at another time. The flatter decanter risks oxidizing the wine more quickly and dulling its aromas. So forget the carafe!  <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That way, keeping a bottle open is a thing of the past, and goodbye wastage! \ud83d\uddd1\ufe0f \ud83d\udeaf<\/span><\/p>\n<p>And if you&#8217;d like more advice, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twil.fr\/conserver-vin-ouvert2\">Twil is the place to find it! <\/a>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"round-link-container\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinispi.com\/en\/sujet\/storage-method\/\" rel=\"tag\">#Storage method<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinispi.com\/en\/sujet\/tips-and-tricks\/\" rel=\"tag\">#Tips and tricks<\/a><\/div>[vc_empty_space]Array[vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; disable_custom_paddings_tablet=&#8221;true&#8221; disable_custom_paddings_mobile=&#8221;true&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1587718696889{padding-right: 0px !important;padding-left: 80px !important;}&#8221;][vc_empty_space]<div class=\"best_offers_js\" data-cepage=\"\" data-magentoid=\"24812\" data-title=\"Meilleurs vins : How do I store an opened bottle?\" data-type=\"producer\" data-limit=\"2\" data-id=\"21419\" data-display=\"vertical\"><\/div>[vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_empty_space]<div class='shortcode-x-offerts'><div class='shortcode-x-offers-block'><strong>10 \u20ac offerts sur votre premi\u00e8re commande !<\/strong><div>Achetez vos vins en vente priv\u00e9e sur Twil.
