WINE 101
Yes! For the best experience, we recommend serving Sababay wines at these ideal temperatures: SPARKLING WINES : 6–8°C | WHITE & ROSÉ WINES : 8–12°C | RED WINES : 16–18°C. Serving wine at the right temperature helps lock in its intended aromas and fresh flavors.
Once a bottle is opened, oxygen steps in and gradually changes the flavor profile. Here is a quick guide to keeping it fresh: SPARKLING WINES : 1–3 days (keep it fizzy with a proper sparkling wine stopper) | WHITE & ROSÉ WINES : 5–7 days (stored in the fridge) | RED WINES : 5–7 days (stored in a cool, dark place)| FORTIFIED WINES : Up to 28 days (stored in a cool, dark place). Higher alcohol = longer shelf life! | SABABAY HACK : Have leftover wine? Don't waste it! Use it to mix up tropical cocktails or simmer a delicious wine reduction sauce.
At Sababay, we craft vibrant "new latitude" wines meant to be enjoyed at their freshest. Because our collection is designed for immediate enjoyment rather than decades of cellaring, we recommend consuming them WITHIN 1-3 YEARS for the ultimate tasting experience. PRO TIP : Keep your unopened bottles in a cool, dark place to preserve their freshness.
Technically, WINE DOESN’T HAVE a hard EXPIRATION DATE like milk or juice. However, it does evolve over time. To experience the best taste, aroma, and quality, it's best enjoyed within its recommended timeframe. SIGNS your wine might have moved past its prime: FLAT BUBBLES in your sparkling wine, A VINEGAR or WET CARDBOARD SMELL (signs of heavy oxidation), COLOR CHANGES: White wine turning a dark amber/brown, or red wine losing its vibrant hue and looking brownish, A SHARP, SOUR TASTE | The final sip: WINE EVOLVES—sometimes beautifully, sometimes not. The best way to enjoy it? Open the bottle, pour a glass, and savor the moment. After all, wine is meant to be shared, not stored forever!
Keeping your bottles happy is easy! Just follow these two golden rules. TEMPRATURES IS KEY : Store your wine consistently between 16°C and 18°C. Avoid drastic temperature swings (like moving it in and out of hot rooms), which can damage the aromas | KEEP IT DARK : Light and UV rays can spoil wine over time. Keep your bottles in a dark pantry or cupboard; our tinted glass helps protect it, but a dark home is always best! | POSITION MATTERS : If your bottle has a cork, store it horizontally to keep the cork moist. If it’s a screw cap, standing upright is perfectly fine!
Absolutely! At Sababay, we believe wine should be enjoyed exactly how you like it.Adding ice is a fantastic way to enjoy our wines in tropical weather. Our Sangria Series is practically made to be served over ice for instant refreshment. You can also try Mistelle à la piscine (literally meaning "Mistelle by the swimming pool") poured over ice for a lighter, incredibly refreshing sunset drink. | JUST KEEP IN MIND that as the ice melts, it will slightly dilute the wine—so drink up!
YES, SABABAY WINES ARE 100% VEGAN! During our clarification process, we use a natural CELLULOSE FILTER as our fining agent to ensure our wine is clear, bright, and fresh. We don't use any animal-derived byproducts, so you can confidently enjoy a glass of Sababay on a vegan diet. Because everyone deserves a delicious bottle of wine for their #Winesday!
