Answer 2

Do You Refrigerate Wine

Answer 3

I could repeat the millions of things that have been said already about storage of opened wine, but that would just be redundant. Here's what they missed: Although wine should never be expected to have the same flavor as it did before being recorked, you need to look at the varietal your are drinking. For instance, if you were speaking of a chianti or zinfandel, you would be losing alot of that dry, oaky flavor that makes it that type of wine. In your case, you have a pinot noir, the lightest of the red wine varietals. You have an aromatic, fruity wine that will begin to lose it's sweetness. My suggestion to you is if you absolutly cannot finish a bottle of wine in one sitting (not by yourself, just if you have leftover), the best thing to do is bite the bullet and use it for a spicy arriabita tomato sauce or beef stew the next night.

Hey Now... Yes just cork it and put it in a cool area... It will be good for at least a week before it starts to loose its taste. I usually use the left over wine for cooking the next day... Reds are good for cooking beef... FYI... Red wines should be chilled about 30-45 minutes in the refrigerator before serving, to about 62-65°F. You have probably heard that red wines should be served at room temperature, and you are right. However, the term "room temperature" refers to rooms in Europe way back when, and they were around 60°F, not the 72-75° we find in modern-day America. The slightly colder temperature slows the evaporation of alcohol, thus improving the aroma and flavor, and making the wine smoother. Don't over chill; this makes the tannins in the wine taste rough and bitter. Some reds are actually served chilled, sweet red wines like Pomegranate and Cranberry flavored reds and Beaujolais, especially for summer drinking. My Grandma used to chill her Chainti before serving it.. Smiles Smiles

Answer 6

White wines & white zinfandels do need to be refrigerated after opening but reds can be left out on the counter; however, both should be laid on their sides to help maintain the proper taste & prevent them from going stale. I learned that last bit the hard way.

Answer 7

White wine should be refrigerated and served chilled any way. Red wines seal and leave on counter but dont' wait to long it loses flavor to me

Answer 8

The key to preserving leftover wine is to prevent exposure to air. Air causes wine to age and the wine will oxidize and lose its freshness.

There are devices available on the market that will help to purge the bottle of oxygen. Canisters of nitrogen can be sprayed into the bottle before re-corking to displace oxygen. Another device pumps air from the bottle and seals it with a rubber gasket. These devices help to preserve the wine longer than simply re-corking the bottle and storing them in the refrigerator.

Answer 9

If it's white, definitely.

If it's red, you don't need to. However, I refrigerate opened organic red wine too, as it seems to spoil faster than non-organic wine (no preservatives) and then pop a glass in the microwave for a few seconds or so.

Answer 10

You don't have to with red wine but it have to be well kept under good temp. Around 65/75. I don't recomend opening a bottle over a week

Answer 11

IF it is truly air tight then no, but it needs to be used in about a week or it will turn swill. Go to a wine tasting and you will see that they do not serve it cold. Just room temp. But they will use their bottles within a few days
