1. Reseal the bottle with a new cork and place it in the refrigerator. Make sure that the stopper you choose is sturdy enough to minimize air entering the bottle.
2. Pour the remaining wine into a smaller capacity bottle (such as a 375ML bottle), then reseal the bottle and put it in the refrigerator. Although this method may seem a bit complicated, it is quite effective. The first two methods are simpler to operate for wines sealed with New World screw caps.
3. Use a vacuum pump to remove oxygen from wine. In theory, this method is very effective. Unfortunately, this method cannot completely remove the oxygen from the bottle, so there is still a portion of the oxygen that will remain in the bottle and damage the wine. In addition, the use of a vacuum pump device can also remove sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide (which can enhance the taste and texture of non oak aged white and red wines) from the wine, which can prevent oxygen from damaging the wine.
4. Drink the wine as soon as possible. Because from the moment the wine is opened, the air begins to react with the wine. In our article "How long can wine be stored after opening a bottle?" in this topic, we have mentioned that wine after opening a bottle usually goes completely bad after about 3 days (white wine takes 2 days). The best and freshest time for wine is at the beginning of its first beating. Therefore, try to enjoy it during its most beautiful years.
