Life after
uncorking
Opening a bottle means starting a biological timer. The moment wine comes into contact with oxygen, a process of evolution begins which, if not controlled, ends in degradation.
The Science of Oxidation
Oxygen is wine's best friend when opened, but its worst enemy as hours pass. In warm regions of Mexico, this process accelerates dramatically.

Times by Style
Red Wines
Red wines with more tannins and acidity tend to last longer than lighter red wines. Tannin acts as a natural preservative.
White and Rosé Wines
Being more delicate, the loss of freshness is noticeable from the second day. Cold is your indispensable ally.
