In fact, in foreign countries, wine generally has no shelf life, only an optimal drinking period. For example, the best time to drink dry red and dry white wines is within five or six years of leaving the factory. In China, the shelf life of wine is required by law to be stated on the label, so the term “shelf life” is a feature of China. It is generally accepted that wines that are past their expiration date will show cloudy sedimentation and loss of taste, but are still drinkable but taste poor and may not be healthy for humans.
The older the wine, the better the wine, and the older the vintage, the better the wine. These two statements are not scientific. Regular white wines usually have a two-year life span. The first year after vinification is the best youthful period. Some white wines can reach a life cycle of more than 10 years, while red wines generally have a slightly longer life cycle than white wines. Generally speaking, the better the quality of the wine, the longer its life cycle. If you drink it when it’s not mature, you’ll feel bad. The life cycle of wines varies from variety to variety and from brand to brand, such is the complexity of wine. It takes a professional taster to determine the vintage of a wine.Warm Tips: Keep up with the latest market news on the LuFuture.com app.
