Do you refrigerate red wine?!
Answers: Should you refrigerate red wine after opening?
The better alternative is a vacuum recorker. Available for under $10 at most any good wine or liquor store. It usually come with 2 "stoppers" and a little hand pump. You simply place one of the stoppers in the bottle, slip on thehand pump, give a couple of pumps and you have a vacuum seal. It at least doubles the life of open reds.
red wine is not meant to be chilled...however it can extend the life of the wine after it has been opened (maybe a couple of days)
No.
Yes, but keep in mind that it has a quick expiratory date after you do. Red wine is only good for about 5 days after you open it. Before you drink after refrigerating it, let it sit out a while so it tastes better. You should also get one of those caps that helps seal it tighter. You can buy those at Bed, Bath & Beyond or wherever you bought the wine (usually). Enjoy!
Yes, because my red wine says "serve chilled". And since you don't put ice blocks in a glass of wine, I'm guessing you have to keep it refrigerated. Well I had a glass of wine that was left on the table to warm, and it tasted pretty bad!
I do just because I prefer to drink it cold but you dont have to, i actually think you arent supposed to.
yes,an average of 20 degrees is good to retain bouquet---then drink it at room temperature when required
I always refrigerate any wine after opening if I don't drink it all. Make sure you seal the bottle with a stopper to avoid oxidation. It should be drunk within a couple of days after opening or if left longer, use it in spaghetti sauce. Just take it out and let it warm up a little before drinking.
Yes you can. Tilt the bottle and make sure the cork stays wet.
Drink wine at the temperature you prefer. Many cheaper red wines don't have a very complex aroma anyway, so if you like it chilled, you are probably not missing anything, but please don't chill a really nice bottle of expensive red wine and chug it down in front of me or anyone that might actually appreciate the wine.
A good bottle of red wine should be served at cellar temperature, not "room" temperature. If you don't have a wine cellar, that can mean just in the fridge for 15 minutes or so before serving to take it from 75 degress to 65 degrees or so.
If you don't finish the bottle, there is no need to refridgerate, but you can if you like. Either way, the wine will begin to taste rather bad in about two days, maybe 3.
no u do not chill red wine it should be served at room tempeture white wine can be chilled but NOT red
