Love2Smile Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I don't drink wine or any other alcohol but have decided to start drinking one small glass of red wine each night for medicinal reasons. Do you refridgerate wine after opening??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Peach Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I do refrigerate mine. I like it cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen in PA Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I don't refrigerate red wine, but I do try to keep it in a cool place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love2Smile Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Thanks! Well it's been cool here around 65 in the house so I guess that's okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4wildberrys Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 We drink our wine every day for health reasons :tongue_smilie:, so we add a couple of ice cubes to our glass. Perhaps not very classy, but also not too strong. We buy box wine and just keep it in the pantry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zookeeperof3 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I keep it in a kitchen cabinet on an outside wall, (under the sink). It stays cool but not co9ld. Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRAAB Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Not red win, but it's kept in a cool part of the house. Yes, white wine I refrigerate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love2Smile Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Thanks again, DH works with someone who has their own winery in the Santa Cruz mountains (Calif) and he gave us a boatload of wine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Katia Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I've started drinking a glass of red wine every evening with supper for health reasons as well. I have been storing the opened bottle in the refrigerator. How long does an opened bottle keep before spoiling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeBookBread Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 White, yes; red, no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSNative Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 What is this storing of wine you speak of?!! :) Sorry, your post cracked me up. A friend's husband immigrated here from Italy. Last year they were given a wine preserving set (the vacuum seal thing that you use to close half full bottles of wine.) He was so puzzled. Why would anyone not finish the wine? :) We use a vacuum sealer and it helps. I keep red and white in the fridge if they are open - I just pour the red an hour before I want to drink it and place a small plate on top to keep out any fruit flies (in the warmer months). Wine closed properly and kept in the fridge seems to keep about 3 days without problems. Beyond that, it's a crap shoot. Box wine has come a long way and screw top wines can be excellent. Those are good options if you end up storing a lot of open wine. Next time your friend wants to give out tons of wine, let me know. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
