So, you’ve opened a bottle of Tomato Wheels Lambrusco, had a glass (or two), and now you’re wondering—how long will it last? The answer: not long! But don’t worry, here’s how to keep it fresh for as long as possible.
How Long Can You Keep Opened Lambrusco?
Because Lambrusco is a sparkling red wine, it loses its bubbles and freshness quickly. Here’s what to expect:
- Best Within 1-2 Days – Lambrusco is at its peak right after opening. The bubbles start fading after 24 hours.
- Still Drinkable Up to 3 Days – If stored properly in the fridge with a wine stopper, you can enjoy it for another day or two, but the fizz will be weaker.
- After 3 Days? – The wine starts losing its vibrant flavours, and you might notice a duller taste.
How to Keep Lambrusco Fresh
Want to extend its life? Follow these tips:
- Keep It Chilled – Store the bottle in the fridge immediately after opening.
- Use a Sparkling Wine Stopper 🍾 – This helps preserve the bubbles better than a regular cork.
- Avoid Too Much Air – The less air inside the bottle, the slower the oxidation. If you’re serious, use a vacuum pump to remove excess air.
- Drink It Fresh! – Lambrusco is made to be enjoyed young, so don’t wait too long!
