Expiration & Storage Tips
When does moscato white wine expire?
A bottle of unopened Moscato white wine can last up to 1-2 years when stored properly, that's typically beyond the printed date on the package. You can generally trust your eyes and nose to tell you when the wine has expired. If it has been opened, the wine will remain fresh for about 1-3 days when stored in the refrigerator. Freezing wine is not commonly recommended but if you do end up freezing it, it's best consumed soon after it has been thawed.
How do you tell if moscato white wine is bad?
Wine, including Moscato, is straightforward to tell if it's gone bad. If it's turned into a brown or deep yellow color, that's a clear sign. Smell is another big factor- a good bottle of Moscato should smell fruity and sweet. If it smells like vinegar, applesauce, or damp cardboard, it's probably gone bad. Taste is your final decider. If it tastes sour, vinegary, or lacks fruitiness, it has likely spoiled.
Tips for storing moscato white wine to extend shelf life
• Store unopened bottles of Moscato in a cool, dark place, laying flat to keep the cork from drying out.
• After opening, re-cork the bottle tightly or use a wine stopper to seal the bottle and refrigerate it immediately.
• Avoid storing Moscato near any strong odors, as the wine can absorb them.
• Don't store the wine above the refrigerator or near a stove, as heat can ruin it.
