Food Gift Hamper

If after your parties over, you find that you have an excess of wine which has been opened do not despair it can be saved for another day, in fact for a further 6 days if stored correctly. The key factor to keeping wine is not to let oxygen come into contact with the wine, if you can find a small container of a size in which the wine can be poured until almost overflowing then you can cap the container ensuring that just a little wine spills out. This way you can be sure that there is no air in the container and it can then be stored in a refrigerator for up to 7 days.

There are 3 simple steps to ensure that you get the most out of your chosen bottle of wine, a good bottle of wine doesn’t have to cost the earth, its more about how you treat it that’s makes all the difference. Step 1 – always make sure that if you are serving red wine then do so at room temperature, of course if white is your preference then it should be chilled. Step 2 – Always open the bottle beforehand which allows the wine to breathe, the best way to allow a wine to breathe is by pouring it into a decanter. Step 3 – choose the glass to suit the particular wine, use larger glasses for red and smaller rimmed when serving white.
