How long can rice wine be kept?

It is no problem to keep yellow rice wine for more than ten years, but the premise is that the container must be kept in a sealed state and a suitable environment during storage.

The shelf life of yellow rice wine varies according to the quality of yellow rice wine. Generally, the shelf life of yellow rice wine ranges from 12 months to 36 months, and the longest one will not exceed 5 years. The shelf life of rice wine packaged in a single can is 6 years.

High-quality yellow rice wine is stored in suitable environment. After more than a year, the various components in the wine will merge with each other and decompose to achieve a micro-balance. At this time, the yellow rice wine tastes soft, obviously aged, mellow and harmonious, and is the best to drink. But after more than 3 years, alcohol will volatilize and the quality will decline.

The state has such regulations on trademark labeling: drinks and wines with alcohol content greater than 10%vol can be exempted from labeling the shelf life. In other words, if the alcohol content exceeds 10%vol, there is no need to indicate the shelf life. Because the alcohol content is above 10%, it is difficult for ordinary fungi to survive in this environment, so there is no need to mark the shelf life.

Long-term preservation of yellow rice wine is very important.

Although the shelf life of yellow rice wine is not marked, the storage method of yellow rice wine is still very harsh, because reasonable and appropriate storage can extend the shelf life to about 5 years. Pay attention to humidity and temperature. Usually, 70% relative humidity is appropriate. If the humidity is too high, the bottle stopper is easy to mold and pollute the wine body.

Pay attention to the light, natural light will accelerate the deterioration of wine, and yellow wine should be stored in a cool place. Pay attention to the container, the quality of yellow rice wine after storage is closely related to the container material of yellow rice wine. Usually yellow rice wine will use pottery jars as containers. The pottery altar is thick and shadowy. After a period of storage, the water in the wine will evaporate through the altar wall, and Chen Fang will be pleasantly surprised.
