LimPC, Melvyn

Heard that there is going to be a meeting / gathering for frag ?? we bring all our whites and reds there lor ..

[Rocks]

I have one question to ask... if I open up a bottle of wine (white or red) and can't finish it.. how one keep it for later?

seriously ... how to keep unfinished white/red wine har?

[zorden]

Believe its not for serious drinking....

Any of the New World wines will be ok...try South African...between i will recommend Red Wine rather than white for the occassion, more choice of combi with foods.

bro u into wine too???

welll i heard that there is a certain "grape" wine from French only come in during X'mas and quite sweet and popular...

anyone know the detail of this wine...

Store in a decanter or if no decanter ###### it up and store in chiller (wine chiller that is).... consume within the week.

One wek is too long.

Consume within 3 days.

Anyway it doesnt take long or more than 2 people to finish up an entire bottle.

A week is still ok for stronger wines if you got a chiller. Yes, 'softer' wines will then need to be consume within several days. Rule of thumb, colder, opened wines age slower....but that doesn't mean you can chuck it into the freezer! lol

yup agree. . .

Get a wine chiller if u are a serious drinker.

Do not place it in ur normal kitchen chiller bcuz u will be opening/closing the chiller like 10-15 times a day. ur wine will spoil faster than u noe.

[zorden]

can get a cheap Akira wine chiller for 300+

those medium size for 20 bottle..

thinking of getting one...once..my vitamin M regain,.....

[fishtalk1517]

If u just wanna to store abt 16 bottles, might wan to look at Farfalla brand at Carrefurre.... There sells below $200. i got mine there.....

Bro acidjazz is right to say that open wine best to consume not more than 3 days. and try not keep in the fridge for too long as the temp between the fridge and wine chiller is different. Wine best stored at 16-18 degree.

Been drinking for sometime already...nowadays not too concerned on the type of wines (not connoisseur)...

Why u wanna keep? wine is like wxmxn, you gotta finish when you open it, you can't keep it (the best parallel i can draw).

[acidjazz]

Wine is like a woman. The older it gets, the better it is.

Invest in a wine chiller.

thanks guys for the wine keeping tips. will bear in mind to finish a bottle of wine within 3 days.

Not too sure about the wine & women part... "The older it gets, the better it is" and "you gotta finish when you open it, you can't keep it" ... interesting... ... this christmas I will be having wine with young women.. so best of both world?

So if my wine can't finish within a day, I still get a chance to invite those young women for a second round the next night to finish the wine.

CHEERS!

Not really. People keep wines because of the vintage. Certain climatic conditions during certain years will give wines of a certain region a certain characteristics thats different from the previous batches.

WInes hardly bottle aged nowadays. Mostly barrel aged. The reason is due to the reaction and the flavors imparted from the oak/maple barrel the wines are kept in. Thus the longer its kept, the stronger the flavor as more layers developed in the 'so called' bouquet and body.

In the bottle... No flavor ma.

My best theory, Buy it. DRink it.

Unless its some really rare wines which u cant get on the market often enuff or if u order bulk from vineyards abroad...

Travy knows his wine ! You are right that the aging process is in the barrel, once you bottled it, its for consumption. People in SRC REALLY knows enjoyment, fishes, reefing, holidaying, wine drinking, appreciating the opposite ######, truly epicureans !
