Alcohol also has an expiration date; know how to store it to stop wasting the spirits

Most items, including food and medicine, have an expiration date, but have you ever seen an expiration date on the outside of a bottle of alcohol? No, right? That doesn't mean that alcohol doesn't have an expiration date. They also have an expiration date. Beer, wine, etc. have a specific shelf life. Experts say that it is very bad to use them after that. Also, where the alcohol is stored, temperature, and oxidation are all important.

Beer has a shelf life of six to eight months. However, if you keep it in the fridge, it will last longer, but once opened, it should be used within a day or two. Gin, vodka, and rum are said to be consumed within six to eight months. Also, for the best taste, alcohol should be stored in a dark and cool place. Proper storage will also increase their shelf life. Whiskey is an alcohol that is not affected by ageing. However, once the bottle is opened, oxidation occurs immediately. This affects the taste and smell.

Health experts recommend that organic wines, produced without preservatives such as sulfates, should be consumed within three to six months. Wine is affected by oxygen exposure. Therefore, for the best taste, wine should be consumed within three to seven days of opening a bottle.
