There are many stuffy rules about wine, from the type of container it should come in to how expensive it should be. One common myth is that a bottle of wine should be fully consumed the same day it's opened. While it's true that vino does start to oxidize the moment the cork comes out, that's no reason to guzzle a liter of it all by yourself, or pour your leftover liquid down the drain. According to Bon Appétit, an open bottle of wine is still good for several days—as long as you know how to store it properly.
从装酒的容器到酒的价格,关于葡萄酒有很多老讲究。一个常见的误解是一瓶葡萄酒必须在开盖的当天喝完。尽管一开盖酒就会开始氧化,但是没有必要因此独自干掉一整瓶,或者将剩余的葡萄酒倒进下水道。据美食杂志《好胃口》称,只要储存方法得当,葡萄酒开盖后可以保鲜好几天。
If you pop open a new bottle of cabernet just to have a glass or two, hold onto the cork. Corks have been an important part of the wine-making process for centuries. The material is dense enough to keep liquids fresh without sealing off air altogether. A minimal amount of oxygen allows the flavors of the wine to continue to develop, while too much oxygen creates an acrid, unpleasant taste.
如果你打开一瓶新的赤霞珠红葡萄酒只是为了喝上一两杯,那么不要丢掉木塞。几个世纪以来,木塞一直是红酒酿造流程的一个重要部分。木塞材质的密度足以在不完全隔绝空气的情况下保持酒的新鲜。瓶中有少量氧气可以让葡萄酒继续发酵,而氧气过多则会导致葡萄酒变得酸涩,口感不佳。
Once you've finished pouring your wine, squeeze the cork back into the bottle to prevent any more oxygen from reaching the drink. If you've damaged or accidentally tossed out your cork, a bit of plastic wrap with a rubber band, aluminum foil, or a reusable wine bottle stopper will work, too.
一旦你倒完酒,就要立即用木塞密封酒瓶,防止更多氧气进入瓶中酒。如果你损坏或不小心扔掉了木塞,你可以用橡皮筋和铝箔包住一团保鲜膜作为瓶塞,或者用可重复使用的酒瓶塞。
