Serving & Storing your wines
Which wines to chill, how to store, how long they last
Chill these three before serving:
Sun Moon Rising 'Libra' White Blend
Frisk 'Prickly' Riesling
Filipa Pato '3B' Brut Nature Rosé
The other three (Odfjell Merlot, End of Nowhere 'Phantom Limb' Zinfandel, Castello di Tassarolo 'Orsola') are best at cool room temperature. If they're warm, pop them in the fridge for 15-20 minutes before opening.
How to store a bottle you haven't finished:
Seal tightly with the original cork (stained side down), the screw cap, or a rubber wine stopper
Keep it upright
Refrigerate (yes, even reds — let them warm up for 20 minutes before drinking)
How long opened wine lasts:
Sparkling (Filipa Pato 3B): 1-2 days with a stopper (your Early Bird stopper is perfect for this!)
White and rosé: 3-5 days in the fridge, sealed
Red: 3-5 days, sealed and refrigerated
