How Long Does Lambrusco Last Once Opened?

How Long Does Lambrusco Last Once Opened?

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:

  1. Keep It Chilled  – Store the bottle in the fridge immediately after opening.
  2. Use a Sparkling Wine Stopper 🍾 – This helps preserve the bubbles better than a regular cork.
  3. 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.
  4. Drink It Fresh!  – Lambrusco is made to be enjoyed young, so don’t wait too long!
