TIP OF THE DAY: Watch Your Wine Timelines
If you have an unopened bottle of spirits, it can last for years. But except for collector wines that need bottle age, most wines are meant to be drunk within a year: otherwise, they deteriorate. If you’re not sure about a wine you own, ask at your local wine store. You don’t need a special occasion to open a nice bottle of wine. If you don’t have enough participation to finish the bottle in an evening, use a wine preservative and enjoy it over a week. Here’s a good wine preservative spray. Read more about vino in the Wine Section of THE NIBBLE online magazine. | If you have no one to share that fine wine with, enjoy it yourself. Use a preservative spray to keep the remainder fresh for a few days or a week until you can finish the bottle. |

I have personally used wine preserver. If you use it perfectly and are careful it can buy you many extra days for an opened wine. Desert wine especially as they are so sweet you often do not finish them. One bottle of preserver lasts a long time so it is worth keeping on hand if you drink wines often. (Thumbs up!)
