The factors are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Type of wine (red, white, sweet&#8230;)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wine characteristics (age, acidity, tannin content, etc.)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quantity remaining in the bottle<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Storage temperature<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ambient humidity<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Storage conditions, including brightness<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"title-h2\"><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, white wines have a lower tannin content than red wines. As a result, they are more subject to oxidation and have a shorter shelf life. For red wines, the more tannic the wine, the longer it will keep. On the other hand, a red wine with low acidity (neutral PH) will keep much less time. On average, an open white wine can be kept for one to two days, whereas an open red wine can be kept for two to four days. Sweet white wines also keep longer due to their high sweetness, as do young wines, which benefit from higher alcohol and sulfite levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"title-h2\"><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be careful! If you don&#8217;t, the bottle will turn sour within a day.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"title-h2\"><\/h2>\n<h2>How to store an open bottle<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several tips for optimizing the shelf life of any opened bottle of wine:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recork bottles directly after serving, and with the inner side of the cork, as the other part of the cork has been in contact with the outside and therefore potential dirt.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Store opened bottles, especially light reds and whites, in the fridge or in a cool room.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep the bottle away from light, especially UV rays.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the bottle of wine is too small, it&#8217;s best to pour it into a smaller, airtight container so that the wine has less contact with the air.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"title-h2\"><\/h2>\n<h2>The preservation system solution<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In recent years, technical progress has enabled the development of wine preservation systems now marketed by companies such as <em>Advin\u00e9o<\/em> and <em>Coravin<\/em>. These allow you to serve a glass of wine without opening the bottle, thus protecting the liquid from oxygenation.  <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"title-h2\"><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, <em>Coravin<\/em> is a leader in the sector, and has developed wine preservation systems that involve inserting a needle plug into the cork to extract the wine, and releasing a neutral gas to prevent the introduction of air and thus oxygenation of the liquid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Photo: Ibrahim Boran \/ Unsplash[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space]<div class=\"round-link-container\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinispi.com\/en\/sujet\/conservation-en\/\" rel=\"tag\">#Conservation<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinispi.com\/en\/sujet\/good-to-know\/\" rel=\"tag\">#Good to know<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinispi.com\/en\/sujet\/service-en\/\" rel=\"tag\">#Service<\/a><\/div>[vc_empty_space]Array[vc_empty_space][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.
