Everyone has at least one friend that refuses to be a man and play by the rules when it comes to abiding by expiration dates. Look buddy, if it smells ok and it tastes ok then we’re going to drink it – especially when there’s alcohol involved. (Note: does not apply to skunk beer… unless you’re really desperate.) Along with needing to learn proper temperatures, vintages, flavors, and pairings, now you have to know approximately how long a bottle of wine survives once it’s been opened. Honestly, we were unaware. GSelect saves your ass with A Date With Wine. The wine stopper looks something like a cross between a bike lock and an industrial strength hose nozzle has three twistable date rings so you can remember the last time you tried to pair that chardonnay with chocolate. Even if you don’t get it right at least you’ll know if it’s fresh.
