PFT #70 - Personal Finance Tip of the Week: Uncorking the Secrets for Preserving and Enjoying Wine

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This week’s personal finance tip is about managing your wine. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A personal finance tip on wine you say? Absolutely! </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">How often have you opened a bottle and two days later it begins to taste like vinegar? This has to do with oxidation and then your pouring it down the drain.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To find wines that are made with purpose for a value play, you have to spend between $15 - $25.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So what can we do to get more out of our bottles?</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Store your wine on its side or upside down - it keeps the cork wet and protects against oxygen.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Store wine in a damp cellar or an area that is dark with 60-80% humidity to prevent evaporation.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For whites keep the temperature at 45-50 degrees and if storing red and white 55 degrees will do the trick. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After opening, you can commonly achieve 3-5 days from your bottles after opening. If you breach this period, the flavors will dissipate; however, they can be used for cooking. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The bottom line is that regular drinkers can easily spend between $100 - $200 each month and as it takes little effort to knock a bottle out with two people in one sitting. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, when we’re feeling good, the second bottle gets cracked and then it often goes to waste. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hence, follow the rules and you'll be in good shape</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And then you can turn up the Marvin Gaye and put the lights on low with a fresh glass of vino. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Website  </span></p> <p><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://www.somethingonmymind.net/</sp
