Storing Wine

Postby manish » Mon Oct 22, 2007 3:06 pm

I really love red wine. I am no expert in tasting or recommending wine like those french guys smelling and making facing while drinking wine. I just love it for its taste and rich color.

Wine is an alcoholic beverage made from the fermentation of grape juice. The natural chemical balance of grapes is such that they can ferment without the addition of sugars, acids, enzymes or other nutrients. A vintage wine is one made from grapes that were all, or primarily, grown in a single specified year, and are accordingly dated as such. Vintage wines are generally bottled in a single batch so that each and every bottle will have a similar taste.

Most wines are sold in glass bottles and are sealed using a cork. Storing wines is a tricky and laborious job. Wine is a natural, perishable food product. Left exposed to heat, light, vibration or fluctuations in temperature and humidity, all types of wine, including red, white, sparkling, and fortified, can spoil. When properly stored, wines not only maintain their quality but many actually improve in aroma, flavor, and complexity as they mature. A wine rack is a storage device that holds bottles of wine horizontally, or at any angle where the wine remains in constant contact with the cork, and are often found in wine cellars.
