• Full-bodied white: Three to five days in the fridge
• Body refers to the way a wine feels in your mouth. This is in direct relation to how much alcohol is in a wine
• Red wines are higher in tannins than whites. They leave your mouth feeling dry and kinda like you just had dark chocolate or black tea
• A corked wine smells like soggy cardboard. Pass
• Your red will look brownish and smell-slash-taste like vinegar
• be wary of ordering the second cheapest bottle on the menu. A lot of people do this, so restaurants will sometimes put a bottle they’re looking to get rid of in that position. You’re often better off just going for the cheapest bottle
• The longer the wine’s in contact with the skins, the richer the taste and the deeper the color
• Three to five days in a cool, dark spot. The more tannins in a red (that is, the darker and heavier it is) the longer it will keep
