With an ABV of 13.5%, a standard bottle of wine contains ten units on average. For red wine with a lower ABV, such as 10%, you can expect to find 7.5 units in a whole bottle. Keep in mind that some red wines, particularly those of the dessert variety, can reach up to 17% ABV. 

How Long Does Red Wine Last Once Open?

Opened red wine bottles will last anywhere from three to five days when stored in a cool, dark, and dry environment. Keep in mind that the type of red wine opened will change how long each bottle lasts. For example, thicker red wines will last longer than lighter wines, such as pinot noir. Providing your wine is sealed back up with a lid or a cork, it can be stored in the fridge. Don’t forget to bring the wine back up to room temperature before enjoying with friends. 

How Long Do Red Wines Last Unopened?

Red wines can last anywhere from three to ten years depending on the type of red wine and the conditions the bottle is stored in. The higher the tannin levels in your wine, the longer it will last as these chemicals help prevent oxidation. If your bottle of red has a cork rather than a screw top, store the wine on its side to keep the cork moist and prevent oxygen from reaching the wine. 

Is Red Wine Gluten Free?

Yes, red wine is gluten free. The distillation processes of both red and white wines remove any traces of wheat malt and barley, as well as other ingredients that may contain gluten. Explore our other collections and buy red wine and gluten free options.

What is a ‘Full Bodied’ Red Wine?

‘Full-bodied’ wines are wines that feel thick or viscous in the mouth, and generally, red wines tend to feel more ‘full-bodied’ than white wines. The thickness of the wine is usually determined by the alcohol concentration, tannin content, and the warmth of the grape’s climate.
