Opened bottles
2 / 2- For sparkling wine, use a stopper designed for pressure.
- For opened finos and manzanillas, the Consejo recommends refrigeration.
- Before serving again, check sensory quality.
- Sugar, alcohol, maturation style and actual conditions affect keeping quality: one universal duration would be misleading.
- As an exercise, compare the opening-day note with a later check: freshness, fruit, aromatic development and effervescence.
- Record the result rather than assuming the bottle is unchanged.
Protect, date, then check before serving again.
