Make sure wine stays tasty until the last sip.
Store the open bottle upright in the fridgePlacing the bottle upright will not only avoid spillage but also prevent exposing more wine to oxygen since the liquid has a larger surface area when laying down. And don’t worry if you don’t have a wine fridge. A regular refrigerator offers a colder temperature that will keep the wine fresher for longer.
“A lot of times it gets pretty warm in the kitchen,” says Stewart. “That red wine sitting on your kitchen counter, especially in the summertime, might be much warmer than the ideal serving temperature.”To further limit the exposure to oxygen, Stewart suggests pouring the leftover wine into a small glass container that can be firmly sealed. Then store it in the fridge. Swing top bottles and mason jars will do a great job.
