The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test track. A tire graded 200 would last twice as long on the government test course under specified test conditions as one graded 100.
Most wine racks are designed to allow a wine to be stored on its side. The thinking behind this orientation is that the cork is more likely to stay moist and not dry out if it is kept in constant contact with the wine. Some wineries package their wines upside down in the box for much the same reason.
If you reduce the amount of surface area the wine touches, it will last up to 2 weeks in a fridge. The easiest way to do this is to transfer the wine from its original bottle into smaller bottles with corks. You can buy 187 ml âsplitsâ of wine and just transfer the wine once you use them. The benefit of using jars or smaller glass bottles means you will take up less vertical fridge space.
