Image
Photo : iravgustin ( Shutterstock ) Whether you’re drinking or cooking with wine, you may not go through the entire bottle at one time. Sure, you could use a wine stopper to keep your wine fresh(ish) until you’re ready to finish it, but what if you don’t have one? As it turns out, there is a proper way to recork a bottle of wine. Here’s what to know. How long does a bottle of wine last after it’s open? Once a bottle of wine has been opened, if it is stored properly, it typically remains drinkable for between two and five more days , depending on the type of wine. Sparkling wine is a bit different: Though it will likely be flat by the next day, it can stay fresh enough to drink for up to three days, if recorked correctly.

Vine equity: Bringing diversity to the Canadian wine industry

Nupur Gogia, one of the founding members of Vinequity, tours the vineyard at Legends Estates Winery in Beamsville, Ont. Nick Iwanyshyn For Nupur Gogia and Nabilah Rawji, their first meeting felt like something of a revelation. By that time in 2017, Ms. Gogia had already been working as a wine agent in Toronto for more than a year. But Ms. Rawji was the only other racialized person she’d ever met working in the industry. “I was like, ‘another brown girl!,’ ” Ms. Gogia said. “It was an exhale moment. Like, ‘I can relax. There’s other people like me.’ ” The two formed a quick friendship based on their shared experience of working in a world that looked little like them. Their stories were eerily similar: of customers or colleagues questioning their expertise; of being passed over for jobs or promotions; of being mistaken as subordinates to their white, male employees. “We’d meet, and just be like, ‘We should do something,’ ” said Ms. Gogia. Then, in 2020, after the murder of George Floy...

Photo : Svetlana Mechonoschina ( Shutterstock ) Glass may be recyclable, but sometimes it’s tempting to keep old wine bottles around for the aesthetic, the memories, or a little of both. If you have a tendency to hang onto your empty wine bottles, they don’t have to sit around collecting dust—they’re actually incredibly useful for watering your houseplants. Here’s how to put your old bottles to work. Whenever you water your houseplants, you should always try to get as much water to the roots as possible. Although plants can absorb small amounts of water through their leaves, the roots are much better at it; dumping water on the leaves and letting it trickle down isn’t very efficient, and depending on the type of plant, could even damage the leaves. This is why most watering cans have such long, narrow necks—they make it easy to get at the roots. As luck would have it, wine bottles also have long, narrow necks that make it easy to pour water right where you want it. Another bonus: ...
