Does your wine taste sour | Sonal C Holland MW

Does your wine taste sour? Don’t drink it.

Once you open a bottle of wine, it comes into contact with oxygen and the resultant reaction turns your wine into vinegar. That’s why, you might have heard someone say that you should finish your bottle of wine in one go.
The idea isn’t to get you drunk but to ensure that your wine doesn’t go to waste.
Also, a sour taste isn’t the only characteristic of a wine god bad.

Watch out for these signs too:
1️⃣ Does your wine look dull and cloudier than it did when you opened the bottle?
2️⃣ If it is a red wine, has it turned brownish in colour?
3️⃣ Does it have a sharp and sour smell, like a paint thinner or nail paint remover?
4️⃣ Has it developed bubbles?

If the answer to all these questions is yes, then chug your wine down the drain and make sure that the next time you have an unfinished bottle of wine, you’ll seal it properly, put it in the fridge and finish it off the next evening.
