Is expired wine edible?

Most of the food in life has a shelf life, the food that has passed the shelf life is not edible, wine is a very common thing in our lives, wine also has a shelf life, but we usually often say that the longer the wine is stored, the better, there are many types of wine, there is liquor, wine, drinking wine in moderation is very good for health, if the wine is expired, can you drink it?

Can you still drink expired wine?

Whether expired red wine can be drunk depends on the situation, and not all expired red wine cannot be drunk.

In the gradual improvement phase, the wines are usually intense in aroma and lack complexity, with tannic acidity in red wines and strong acidity and poor parallelism in white wines. If it is in the best drinking period, fruity, woody and lao zhuang can be combined to reflect the balance of aromas, with soft tannins and at the same time, the structure is complete and solid. After the decay period, the body tends to be weak due to excessive oxidation, the color turns brown and red, the fruit almost disappears, instead of soy sauce, which is even the taste of vinegar and soy sauce, the tannins are soft, the acidity is obvious, the balance of flavors is broken again, and the next trend is to get worse and worse.

Generally, the red wine ** bought in the market is relatively low, that is, the quality of the wine is not very good, so the best drinking time is 1-2 years, and basically there is no collection value. Moderate ** red wine, the best drinking time is 3 5 years, generally within 10 years still has a certain collection value. And for those very small quantities of famous wines, the best drinking time can be more than 10 years or even longer.

There are also strict requirements for the storage environment of red wine, avoiding the light cellar, the temperature is 10-15, the humidity is 70%, the ventilation is good, avoiding transportation and vibration, and lying flat. Ordinary consumers can lie down the wine in a small cabinet with constant temperature and humidity, or store it in the refrigerator for a short period of time, avoiding sunlight, heat, etc. Therefore, whether expired red wine can be drunk or not has a lot to do with the ** of the wine and the storage environment, which still depends on the individual's situation.

Wine goes through these periods in general.

Dormant period. After a series of vinification procedures, the wine will enter a dormant period after bottling, because it is necessary to have a suitable storage environment to maintain the flavor of the wine itself, and if it is well sealed, the quality of the wine will be improved twice.

Best time to drink.

After a period of storage, the excellent quality of the wine that has reached maturity after aging will be maintained for a period of time, and this is the best time to drink the wine. Wine is not the older it gets, the more it can be drunk, some expired wines do not necessarily deteriorate, their quality is closely related to the preservation method, if stored properly, even after the expiration date can still be drunk.

Decline period. If you miss the best drinking period of wine, you will find that its taste is not so good, the taste is not so rich, because after missing the best drinking period of wine, the quality of the wine has changed, the skeleton is loose, the aroma is gone, the taste becomes more acidic, and even some "different" flavors will appear, entering the quality decline period.

After the expiration of the wine, it is recommended not to drink it.

After the expiration of the wine, after opening the bottle, there is an obvious vinegar, soy sauce or musty taste, no fruity aroma, the color is dull and dull, there is a large amount of precipitation, and it has lost its drinking value.

If the wine has been opened and not drunk all at once, the remaining wine must be sealed and placed in the refrigerator, preferably within a week. This is because the oxygen that enters after opening the bottle quickly oxidizes the wine, and the microorganisms in the air can also cause the remaining wine to deteriorate. To ensure safety, it is best not to continue drinking wine that has not been drunk for a long time after opening the bottle.

In essence, red wine does not expire. There is no very strict shelf life for imported wines, and due to the constraints of domestic regulations, the general 10-year shelf life of imported red wine is noted on the back label, but in fact it does not affect;

In addition, tell you a little common sense: the wine products purchased within 250 yuan on the market should basically be consumed within 5 years of listing, this kind of wine is suitable for fresh drinking, long-term storage is of little significance, although the wine quality will not be bad under suitable storage conditions, but it has passed the most suitable stage for drinking; The products of high-quality wineries or big brands in some small producing areas can often be aged for decades if properly preserved, and the older they are, the better they are, not to mention 10 years; After the bottle is opened, the wine will become sour due to oxidation, which is not suitable for drinking at this time, and it is good as a condiment for roasted dishes.

The shelf life of wine is related to the alcohol content. Generally speaking, wines with an alcohol content of 13% or more can theoretically be stored for a long time. Normally, wines with an alcohol content of more than 13% can be stored for more than ten or even twenty years, and some high-quality wines of big brands can be stored for a longer time.

For low-alcohol wines, the taste and texture will be greatly reduced after the expiration date, and it is possible that it has spoiled and can no longer be consumed.

Expired wine will have diarrhea when you drink it, I hope mine can help you.

It is recommended not to consume expired glucose, mainly for fear of spoilage and accidents.

Expired wine, because of its high sugar content, will produce a large number of bacteria, change the taste and deteriorate, eat not only will have no nutritional value, but also cause stomach trouble, and even cause more serious adverse consequences that harm health, do not eat it, throw it away.

You can still drink it.

Theoretically, wine has no expiration date, only a drinking period, in 3-5 years, after the drinking period of the wine, if it is well preserved, it can still be drunk, but the flavor of the wine has declined, and the taste is not good.

Regarding the shelf life of wine, in fact, in foreign countries, there is no shelf life statement for wine in general, only the best drinking period. For example, dry red and dry white wines are best served within five or six years of leaving the factory. In China, the law stipulates that the expiration date must be indicated on the label, so the term "expiration date" of wine is a characteristic of China.

It is generally believed that expired wine will have cloudy precipitation and a decrease in taste, but it can still be drunk, but the taste is not good, and it may not be good for the human body. If a bottle of wine that has passed its expiration date has a bad odor or is as light as "water", and has completely lost the characteristics of the wine, there is no need to risk drinking it; If the skeleton is only loose, the aroma is gone, and the taste of Songliang becomes more sour, you can drink it.

Wine, like people, will also go through the stages of youth, development, maturity, peak and decline, after aging, the wine enters the wild and mature period, its excellent quality will continue to be released for a period of time, this time is the best time to drink wine. All wines reach their peak within a certain period of time, after which they slowly enter a period of decline.

90% of the wines on the market have a drinking period of 1 to 2 years, only about 4% of fine wines have the potential to age for 5 to 10 years, and only the remaining 1% of top wines have the potential to age for more than 10 years. Therefore, the vast majority of wines should be consumed within 10 years.

The wine is expired and cannot be drunk.

Under normal circumstances, wine can not be drunk after expiration, otherwise it is easy to cause gastrointestinal discomfort and produce uncomfortable symptoms, wine is a fruit wine made from grapes, under normal circumstances, drinking wine in moderation helps to protect blood vessels, reduce cholesterol, and have certain benefits for human health. But wine expiration is susceptible to the invasion of microorganisms such as bacteria, mold, etc., which can lead to spoilage.
