The Christmas season is upon us and it’s time to crack open some of the good stuff! Sometimes an open bottle of wine won't be finished the same day it is opened. Particularly if it’s a nice bottle, you’d like to keep it as fresh as possible.
For whites, it’s easy--keep them in the fridge. A white can keep in the fridge for a week or so, and you should be able to finish it by then.
For red wine, the same. It won’t last as long as the white, but keeping it cool slows the effects of oxidization. Just take it out 20 minutes or so before you will continue to enjoy it. Better to cool and warm up than to keep warm and stagnant.
For the Bubbly, there are many closures that work. They can be found in many home stores, LCBO stores, and online (see below). If you don’t have one, just put a spoon handle first into the wine bottle and let the miracle of science preserve your bubbles. Don’t use a cork: it will explode out of the bottle in the fridge!
Enjoy!
