"To store wine after opening, recork it and put it back in the refrigerator. Store it in a cool and dark place to slow down any breakdown in the wine and limit its exposure to oxygen, heat, and light." Even better for a restaurant to pour wines-by-the glass from kegs. Wine inside a keg is kept cool, dark and safe from oxygen. Restaurants and Wineries are improving the quality of wine pours, increasing margins on wine, reducing liquid waste, and reducing carbon emissions with wine-on-tap from stainless steel kegs - a package that is reusable for decades. Steel kegs are the only true re-usable package for the wine industry. Free Flow is happy to have helped supply premium wines in reusable stainless steel kegs for the past twelve years. Reusable packaging is better for the environment and reduces reliance on new packaging supply chains. #Wineontap #sustainability #reusable #packaging #recycle #ecofriendly #circulareconomy #environmental #sustainable  #reuse #refill #refillable   #freeflowwines #winequality https://lnkd.in/dVahnGyq

"Even with slight loss of aroma, it will still be palatable. Mass-produced, simpler whites and rosés are probably best [enjoyed] over two days." Wine is susceptible to oxygen, light and heat. Wine inside a keg, on the other hand, is kept cool, dark and safe from oxygen transfer. Restaurants and Wineries are improving the quality of wine pours, increasing margins on wine, reducing liquid waste, and reducing carbon emissions with wine-on-tap from stainless steel kegs - a package that is reusable for decades.

"Since wine is a mixture of chemical compounds and aromatics, it can undergo significant flavour changes when exposed to air over time. ....... wine oxidation, a leading cause of flavour deterioration." Wine is susceptible to oxygen, light and heat. Wine inside a keg, however, is kept cool, dark and safe from oxygen transfer. Restaurants and Wineries are improving the quality of wine pours, increasing margins on wine, reducing liquid waste, and reducing carbon emissions with wine-on-tap from stainless steel kegs - a package that is reusable for decades.

" cork taint is one of several flaws that can crop up in wine .... it’s just unpleasant. The flavors and aromas of corked wine will be at best muted and at worst obscured by those wet newspaper, cardboard, or dirty sock notes ... Cork taint affects just 5 or 7% of wine globally". Better for a restaurant to pour wines-by-the glass from kegs. Wine inside a keg is kept cool, dark and safe from oxygen transfer and away from dirty corks.

"Whatever you do, don't settle for an open bottle....... If you open a bottle of wine and don't seal it back up, the wine is going to mix with the open air in a process called oxidation. Oxidation will give your wine a stale taste, somewhat bitter and 100% unpleasant." Wine is susceptible to oxygen, light and heat. Wine inside a keg, on the other hand, is kept cool, dark and safe from oxygen transfer.
