A glass of red wine is something for connoisseurs. Why you should never put the cork on an already opened bottle again, reveals a wine expert.

Munich \u2012 A young sommelière explains: Do not press the cork onto the wine bottle when it is half empty. In one of her short videos on TikTok, Warner Boin recommends storing leftover wine differently.

Wine sommelière gives tips for remaining wine in the bottle

"If you put the cork back on a half-empty wine bottle, you will see that the bottle is half filled with air. And corks are porous," says Boin. This means that even more air enters the bottle through the cork. This, however, could destroy the complex aromas in the wine bottle.

She has a tip on how to properly store leftover wine. "I recommend a mason jar." The rest of the wine should be poured into this. It is important that the container can be sealed airtight. In this way, even more oxygen does not reach the wine.

Wine sommelier reveals trick: Wine lovers should also avoid these mistakes

When drinking wine, however, connoisseurs can make even more mistakes. Drinking chilled red wine is no longer a no-go. But in order for the grapes to taste better in the glass, wine lovers should avoid five mistakes. If you are asked by the waiter in a restaurant to taste the bottle of wine with a sip, you should pay attention not only to the taste, but also to the smell and condition of the cork.

However, if you don't want to drink the rest of the wine at a later date, you should use the wine leftovers cleverly. In any case, the fine wines are too good to throw away. A red vine can be used to bake a red wine cake, and a dash of red wine also spices up any tomato sauce. Of course, the same applies to white wines, which do well in desserts – such as in a classic Italian zabaione.

But be careful with alcoholic beverages as an ingredient in food - especially pregnant women, dry alcoholics or children should be careful. Because even if the alcohol has been heated beforehand, there is a risk that a residual alcohol will be retained.
