Did you know that every year, bottles of wine worth $1.3 billion are poured down the drain? And that 63% of wines are opened under improper conditions? Each bottle of wine is an incredibly fragile chemical universe, containing over 500 volatile compounds that define its unique character: from tannins, which structure the taste, to esters, which create complex aromas, and alcohols, which give body and persistence. A delicate balance that can dissolve in just a few hours.
The Problem of Oxidation
60% of wines lose their magic within the first 24 hours. Only a few robust reds, if stored perfectly, can maintain acceptable quality for up to 7 days. Every time you open a bottle, the wine begins to deteriorate, compromising the oenological experience for every enthusiast. Oxidation acts quickly, devouring delicate aromas, flattening flavors, and dissolving the complexity that makes each glass unique.
The Problem of Serving Temperature
Temperature is the conductor of a wine's aromas: it directly impacts its quality, and even a small variation can transform the tasting experience. If too low, it mutes the aromas and makes the wine seem insipid; if too high, it amplifies the alcohol and stifles aromatic complexity, compromising the balance.
