The shelf life of self made wine depends on many factors, including grape variety, yeast type, fermentation time, alcohol concentration, storage conditions, etc. Generally speaking, self made wine can be stored for months to years under appropriate storage conditions.
Here are some suggestions to help extend the shelf life of homemade wines:
1. Keep clean: Be sure to keep clean and sanitary during brewing. Use disinfectants to clean equipment and containers and ensure that contamination is avoided during brewing and storage.
2. Control of alcohol concentration: the higher the alcohol concentration, the longer the shelf life of wine. Generally, the alcohol concentration of homemade wine should be between 10-15%.
3. Storage conditions: self-made wine is best stored in a cool, dry place with stable temperature. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or high temperatures.
4. Use appropriate containers: choose containers with good permeability and strong sealing to store wine. Glass bottle is a common storage container, but ceramic cans or stainless steel barrels can also be used.
In general, there are some differences in the shelf life of your own wine, but by following the above suggestions, you can effectively extend the shelf life.
