  • isnt that kinda like a, duh?

  • No. Leave it in the fridge when your not drinking it becuase the fridge slows down the oxidizing of the wine.

    Of course, when you want to drink it, let it return to room temperature.

  • Next tip: How to breathe.

  • you chuck that shit woman!

  • or fucking drink it

  • A better way is to find a water bottle with a screw top. Pour in the wine til it reaches the top. Tighten the lid and voila. Because of the decreased volume of the container there's less air and thus, no oxidiation.

  • It's supposed to be mid 60s to high 60s bitch

  • Cellar temp in the 50's?? try lower 60's woman.

  • what to do with half a bottle of red wine? i have an idea, DRINK IT! duuuuuuur

  • If you aren't going to drink it for a few weeks I guess maybe putting it in the fridge is smart, but when I buy a bottle of wine, it gets drank that day or the next, so any oxidization when it's on the counter with the cork in it is minimal, and what little occurs probably helps the taste, you're supposed to let wine breathe a little.
