I thought wine stopped aging after it was removed from the barrels?
Ages very slowly, due to oxidation through the cork. DIAM corks (the artificial ones, not actual cork) have numbers on them that tell you the amount of oxygen particles let through (so winemakers can choose a higher or lower number)I thought wine stopped aging after it was removed from the barrels?

Spirits stop aging in glass. They do somewhat evaporate under the right conditions and many years. But wine, no.I thought wine stopped aging after it was removed from the barrels?
Yeah that's a good point. Which brings me to Metaxa, the greek freek of brandys, as i understand it should age at least slightly in bottle as it is mixed distilled wine with wine and herbs.. not sure though. I remember talking with Greek sommelier about Metaxa and he claimed Metaxa still matures in bottle, I can't be sure as I was already after few Metaxas that evening, so the question still haunts me to this day.Spirits stop aging in glass.
