Wine lovers rejoice! Not that we think you'll ever need a reason to buy more wine, but we certainly think the following hacks will help!

Use wine to clean your veggies

Add wine to a spray bottle and use it to clean your fruits and vegetables. The alcohol in wine will remove impurities better than water. it may also make it taste a little better.

Keep cool

Use frozen grapes in your glass to keep wine chilled without watering it down.

Smart wine storage

For red wines: Keep slightly cool. A cool cabinet or pantry should do the trick. 

For white wines: Refrigerator storage. Leave the bottle in the fridge till pour time!

For sparkling wines: Ice cold. Put bottle in freezer an hour before opening.

Use your senses

When tasting wine, be sure to look, smell and taste (in that order). The more you train your eyes and nose, the better you'll be able to guess what you're tasting.

Contrary to popular belief

Like you need this much time anyway, but 90% of wines should be enjoyed the same year they are purchased. Get tasting!

Put a cork in it

For optimal storage, use a cork! 

Red, full-bodied wines: 3-5 days 

Red, light-bodied wines: 3 days

Champagne: 4 hours without cork/24 hours with cork

White, full-bodied wines: 3 days

White, light-bodied: 3 days
