After the holidays, there are not only snacks and dishes left over that the household eats the entire next day.

It should be taken into account that many people buy alcohol for the feast. But it happens that it is not always possible to drink it all.

In such cases, the question of storing the drink arises.

Wine expert Natalia Lezhepekova spoke about this in more detail in an interview with Prime .

The specialist noted that sparkling wines can be kept in a cool place and with the cork closed for up to three days.

If we talk about wine, it can stand for two to five days if it is kept in a dark and cool place.

Fortified wines can be kept for up to two days.

Lezhepekova also noted how long strong drinks can be stored. Here we are talking about long-term storage: from six months to a year. The cork must be hermetically sealed, and the bottle itself must be in a warm place at room temperature.
