Wine on tap or wine in bottle

Wine on tap or wine in bottle. It is like choosing between the elegance and the price. Maybe you prefer both?

Sometimes people ask themselves if the wine quality gets bad when they keep it in an open bottle for some days. Is it better to drink up everything the same day? Let us take a look at it.

When you open a bottle you can let it stay open a short while so the wine can breath. Afterwards you can start drinking. A bottle contains 0,75 or 1 litres and usually it is possible to empty it with 3-4 glasses. It depends on the size of a glass.

If you do not drink everything the same day, then there is a risk with getting worse quality after some days. Our experience says that the taste is not as attractive as it was when the bottle was opened the first time. A simple explanation might be that the air destroys it. When it comes in to the bottle then it remains there. That affects the wine quality.

What about the wine bag in box on tap? What happens there? The difference between this bag in box and a bottle is that no air can come inside. The tap is a point where wine goes out but no air can come in because of the pressure. The experience says that the wine quality actually remains as it is from the start. We have tried this in a period of one week and it gave successful and expected results.

Choosing a bottle might be more elegant but choosing a bag in box with a tap is actually a cheaper solution. And the taste? You are free to decide what is better for you and if the elegance is more important than the price.
