To drink good wine and fine wine, we must learn diligently. As there is a saying, 'The early bird gets the worm.' Drinking also applies to this principle. Many wine enthusiasts ask, 'How to store white wine at home to make it more fragrant?' In fact, the storage of white wine is also a technique. Putting white wine away for two or three years is not realistic.'

Storing white wine at home is like cultivating flowers, requiring meticulous care to bloom into a beautiful flower. Storing white wine is the same. Only by diligent nurturing can it achieve a good taste. When you buy white wine and don't have certain skills, without providing it with suitable soil and environment, it won't become a fine wine after several years. So today we will learn about white wine storage techniques with an old wine enthusiast, so that your hundred-yuan wine can become comparable to a thousand-yuan white wine after storage.

First, rational selection of white wine

For white wine to have value after storage, it doesn't matter to put effort into selecting white wine, although all white wines can be stored, they are not all suitable for storage. For example, the more alcohol-based wine becomes worse as it ages, low-alcohol wine becomes paler as it ages, so if you store white wine, want to make it more fragrant and valuable, you need to rationally select white wine. If you want to store it for a longer time, such as more than ten years, you should choose some high-quality Kunsha craft fragrant aged Baijiu, if you want to store it for 3-5 years, 53° fragrant Baijiu is very good, if you want to store it for a shorter time, you can choose clear Baijiu, rationally selecting will bring the best results.

Second, the selection of wine containers

Whether white wine is stored successfully depends on the quality of the container. In the market, we often see plastic bottles, glass bottles, and ceramic bottles as wine containers. However, the most suitable for storing white wine is earthenware, which is known as 'breathing cans', promoting the oxidation of wine, and more conducive to aging. White wine is a living thing, and the various substances inside are constantly undergoing changes, so it becomes more delicious as it ages. Earthenware can meet the life needs of white wine. Its surface is densely covered with fine pores, facilitating white wine respiration. The overall outer wall is opaque, so the wine will not evaporate externally, so it becomes more delicious as it ages.

Third, the arrangement of the environment

White wine is mainly composed of water and alcohol, and alcohol is easy to volatilize, so the basic requirements for storage are three: one is not to leak and spill, to seal to prevent gas from entering; two is to prevent contamination, such as burying, rain, chemicals, etc.; three is a relatively constant temperature, shade and ventilation. Doing these three things is basically no problem for storing wine. We often say that white wine has high requirements for the environment, it seems like white water, but it's not simple, in fact, it's very temperamental. If you neglect it, it will run out of flavor. We must give it a good environment, otherwise it won't become a good wine.

To avoid being afraid that the wine you store will not be fragrant, learn these methods, if you buy 100-yuan original wine, you can store it for 5-6 years, the taste will be excellent, give you a bottle of Moutai, you may not need to change it.

Storing white wine is also a technical activity. Good storage will bring you a full harvest, and bad storage will make you regret it. So we should treat storage as caring for flowers, take care of it carefully so that it can grow up and bloom into a beautiful flower.
