How long is red wine good for?
I got one of those wine stoppers that claims it makes an air tight seal. With this in use, how long will red wine be good for? Also, does this stopper thing work? Or is it just a gimick? I am not sure if it is that much better than just putting the cork back in?
I wouldn't keep the wine more than 3 or 4 days.
As for how they work, they have a one way valve that only allows air to be sucked out, so it is better than putting the cork back - but not by a lot as there is still air left in there.
Better ones are those that work with a gas cannister and put an inert blanket of gas over the wine and stop any oxidation at all
