Selecting, storing & prepping red wine
- Selecting
- Wine doesn't need to be expensive to be good for cooking or casual drinking — the main thing worth checking is that it hasn't been open too long, since exposure to air is what turns wine's flavor flat and vinegary.
- Storing
- Unopened, keeps for years if stored on its side in a cool, dark spot; once opened, re-cork and refrigerate, and use within 3-5 days as oxygen gradually dulls the flavor.
- Prepping
- Letting red wine "breathe" by opening it 20-30 minutes before serving, or decanting it, allows some of the sharper aromas to mellow and rounds out the flavor.

Key metrics
Nutrient density
Per 100 kcal, red wine delivers about 1% of a Daily Value on average across 22 beneficial nutrients. The score is its percentile for that measure among the 177 foods in our database — higher means more nutrition per calorie. How this is calculated.
Density counts protein, fiber, and vitamins and minerals (not fat, sodium, or sugar), each capped so a single nutrient can’t dominate, with a calorie floor so very-low-calorie foods aren’t overstated. It measures nutrition per calorie within our database — a useful guide, not a complete verdict on how “healthy” a food is.
