In Reply to: Storing opened bottles of wine posted by Joe on February 23, 2001 at 10:38:25:
Hi Joe,
You have a couple of options. My personal fave is Wine Preserver brand nitrogen gas. You spray a blanket of the gas over the wine and it keeps it from oxidizing. However, I think there is an even better option for you. Many top wine producers are making half-bottles (375 ml) of their wines. Off the top of my head I can think of several surprises(Georis Merlot, Rauzan-Segla 2nd cru Margaux, Steele Chard and Pinot, Didier Dagueneau Pouilly-Fume and the list goes on and on and on). If they are not immediately available at your liqour store, they may be able to order a mixed case for you. This would limit waste and increase variety in your week.Regards,
Sean
Follow Ups:
I like to use Private Preserve as well. However, since you brought up half bottles, I would state that that merely filling half bottles to the rim and corking the wine does the trick. There is no air left in the bottle, and we all know that it's air that oxidizes the wine. I've found that this is works just as well as a $10 bottle of Private Preserve, so long as you leave no air in the bottle.
Thanks for the tips, Sean. I like the idea of the smaller bottles and the greater variety!Also, where might I find the Wine Preserver nitrogen gas?
Thanks again.
Any liquor warehouse or wine speciality shop should have some nitrogen spray preserver. If you can't find it there, try wineenthusiast.com or International Wine Accessories (whose web address escapes me right now). Let us know what you find out about half bottle availability in your area!!
Regards,
Sean
