Video sum up: How to conserve wine to last longer once opened?
To conserve wine you have to prevent air from coming in contact with the wine itself. Wine will turn to vinegar if left exposed to air. To do so you need to use a very simple pump to to remove air from the bottle. This kind of technology is also used by restaurants.
After pumping the air, keep the white wine in the refrigirator and the red wine in a dark and cool place.
Other more sophisticated device / method also exist:
- Carbon dioxide method
- very expensive refrigirated devices
If you use a pump you can easily conserve your wine a couple of days
