How Long Does Wine Keep ?

Did you ever wonder how long does wine keep before you need to drink it? Mike from Atlanta did and he sent us this question today.

Well life of a wine depends on many things. First of all, it depends if the bottle is opened or not. Once the bottle is opened, the wine changes its taste every day if not every hour actually. So once you open it, we suggest you to drink it as soon as possible (not necessary on your own hehe). But even once it’s opened it all depends on how you close it back down. It can keep few days to also few weeks (not suggested).

But if the wine is closed down and not yet opened, it can keep from few months to few decades. All depending on how it was closed. We have “cheap” wines that are not closed so well. And we have archive wines that are ment to be aged.

The good news is, that if you bought a bottle of wine in a shop, it must has an expiration date on it. But if you bought it as “home made” then you should drink it within few weeks.
