How to preserve wine after removing the lid?

Question

( without using fridge).

Answer 1

Air once the wine is fermented and opened needs to be consumed withing a few days. Not best to let it go to end of week. Now if it is possible to extract the air and reinsert a cork or stopper then you might be able to extend the storage a little more. Yet, once the initial opening you are committed to either consume the lot or throw it away. Happy tasting.

Answer 3

you can use VacuVin to remove the air or an Inert gas blanket and recork or stopper the bottle. Unless you are drinking the wine during winter you still should refrigerate the left over wine. For champagne u can stick a metal spoon handle in to the mouth of the bottle to keep the fizz in.

However keep in mind that if its inexpensive wine you're opening the stuff starts goin bad the moment its popped. Serve out what you intend to and then preserve it quick.

Answer 4

White wines will generally deteriorate rapidly after six hours open unless refrigerated. resealing the bottle without removing the air does little good. Sparkling wines lose their bubbles within hours of opening, and the steel seals help only a little, unless the wine is refrigerated. Red wines, opened and recorked, stored at room temperature sometimes actually improve in taste over 24 to 48 hours. There is not much you can do to predict the result. (The same arguements will be encountered when you read about decanting wines...) There is a better alternative to storing an opened bottle... invite a freind over to enjoy it with you, so there is no leftovers...

Answer 5

yes it's true you can find in wine store of steel top used also for champagne. Preserve the air qt in the bottle.

but i have an nice thing for you without even paying.
you take the " bouchon" = the wooden thing, and you make hole in the other side ( the first side you used it to take it off ) , a hole that fits a match diameter in it.

you lite the match and put it in the " bouchon" and then stuck it in the bottle top.

the match use the O2 in the wine bottle and turns off when there is no more. that's how you preserve you opened bottle of wine.

Bonne appetit.

Answer 6

wine is not supposed to be preserved once the cork is removed. but there are these air tight rubber corks which are available in the market, u can get them at any wine store, they come with a mini pump to take out the air from the bottle before corking it up. but do ensure to use it up as fast as possible as wine loses its quality fast once it comes into contact with air, in wine language its called airing a wine.

Answer 7

pour the wine into your glass according to your need/wish and place the cork lid again,firmly.most wines have refixable cork lids.if your's don't have one,procure a cork lid and firmly fix it over bottle's mouth.you can also wrap a copper/aluminium wire around a plastic covering over the bottle's mouth by encircling tightly.

Answer 8

Use a Vacu Vin. The rubber cork has a hole in it, and you put the pump over it and suck the air out.
Had one for years, works great!
