When Does Wine Spoil
Wine spoils quickly, although there are ways to keep it fresh for a little while. The serious wine drinkers like to finish the bottle the same day the wine is opened because it will start to taste different even only after 1 day of being opened.
After wine is exposed to the air, it will start oxidizing. Oxidizing is what spoils wine and the second you open the wine, it is exposed to the oxygen.
Many people buy special corks and wine openers which prevent oxygen from touching the wine although some people believe they don’t really work so well.
If you want to try and preserve the wine after opening, put the cork back in the bottle as soon as possible and store the wine standing straight up.
Before the wine is opened, it should be stored on its side to prevent the cork from drying out.
If you don’t drink wine to often, you can always try box wine, although some people hate wine from a box.
