Posted on March 22, 2013 by admin| Leave a comment

More and more people like to drink red wine, and people like to collect wine, though red wine storage time is more long more good drink. In fact, high technical requirement is needed for the upkeep of the red wine, if improper storage, outsmart oneself instead. Red wine is very susceptible to the influence of the storage environment, the study found that, when the deposit environment, such as the temperature, illumination will have an effect on the quality of the wine.

Temperature affects antioxidant content

The red wine red wine, one of the antioxidants beneficial health, such as the original flower pigment, tannin, etc. In recent years, the most attention is the reverential in the wine. This is a kind of polyphenols. A lot of research suggests that restoration has many beneficial effects on human health, not only can fall hematic fat, resisting thrombus, prevention of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease (CHD), also has the very good function of cancer prevention.

Buy Wine at ordinary times, during the period of storage, not only to keep the wine storage container seal, but also to keep the storage environment temperature in the lower level, usually of 10 to 15. Studies have found that when the temperature is too high, such as stored at 37 for 30 days, the content of revelation is reduced by 24.5%. When there is light, the content of revelation can also be reduced, because ultraviolet light can cause oxidative polymerization of reverential. Although glass bottle filtration of the ultraviolet ray in sunshine has a certain effect, but not all isolation, still can reduce the reverential. After irradiation for a long time therefore, storage when had better put a cool and dark place. Wine storage, another study found, when the constant temperature will be better, if the environment temperature changes, often wine antioxidant substance content, the color of the wine, fragrant substance can change.

Cork can’t completely sealed

Oxygen can also accelerate the antioxidants in red wine quality loss. Bottled wine cork usually cannot be totally sealed effect, hard to avoid can have oxygen, can lead to loss of major amounts of antioxidants. Store wine, therefore, the best over the wine face filled with carbon dioxide or nitrogen, is exposed to prevent wind and air, so as to prevent the oxidation of the wine.

Storage temperature may not only lead to loss of major amounts of antioxidants in wine, also can affect the color of the wine. Under low temperature storage helps maintain the color of the wine, wine temperature will affect the color of the wine. High pH value of the wine is stored in high temperature conditions. The wine is easy to Browning, reduce red wine.

Storage is not popular cocktail of vinegar

Red wine is not to put the longer, the better, especially the bottles of red wine. If storage conditions are not appropriate, red wine even rancidity, perhaps a bottle of good wine vinegar becomes cheap.

Bought wine, therefore, it is best not to long term storage. Another drink of time doesn’t drink, no more than one drink a day. Drink the wine up to good, with a cork refrigerator saves, continue to drink next time.
