What is the best way to store wine?

Wine has many benefits and is suitable for a wide range of people. Regular and quantitative drinking can also have a health and beauty effect. Some wine lovers also like to brew wine at home. In fact, the method of making wine is not as difficult as everyone imagines. As long as you master the brewing skills, you also need to use the correct bottling method. So what is the best way to bottle wine?

First, what is the best way to store wine? Glass: The glass material itself will not cause the wine to have any peculiar smell. Glass bottles can be stopped by cork, synthetic stoppers or screw caps. If the storage conditions are ideal, wine can be stored for several years without deteriorating.

Second, plastic: If you do not need to store wine for a long time, but only for a short period of time, you can choose plastic bottles. However, compared with glass bottles, plastic bottles are slightly less airtight and are more likely to allow trace amounts of oxygen to pass through, thus affecting the quality of the wine. However, within a year, the quality of wine is not significantly affected by oxygen. Therefore, plastic bottles can actually store wine for a short period of time. It should be pointed out that plastic materials are more likely to react chemically with wine than glass materials, and the material of the plastic bottle must be food-grade PET plastic. The bottle cap of the plastic bottle can be the original bottle cap or the bottle cap purchased from the store, but it must be a very good fit to ensure that the bottle mouth can be screwed tightly. Bottle caps also need to be cleaned and disinfected before use. In addition, plastic bottles do not react chemically with carbonic acid, so using plastic bottles to store sparkling wine in the short term is also a good choice.

What is the best way to store wine? Ceramic cement: Ceramic containers are suitable for the short-term alcohol fermentation (primary fermentation) stage. Because they are opaque and the internal changes cannot be seen clearly, they are more suitable for those who have winemaking experience and those who make large amounts of wine. Beginners should not try this easily. Ceramic containers are bulky, difficult to seal, and inconvenient to clean and disinfect. Pottery is fired at around 800 degrees. The internal density of fired clay is low, so it is considered to have good air permeability. Wine must be prevented from oxidation, so it is not suitable for wine aging (it is suitable for white wine aging). If glazing is applied inside and outside, the air permeability can be reduced, but the glaze may cause heavy metal pollution. There may also be heavy metal pollution problems in the clay due to geological problems or pollution in the place of production.
