Fortified wines like port, Madeira and sherry should be refrigerated after opening. The sweetest wines will last up to four weeks when refrigerated. Vermouth and other aromatic fortified wines will last up to four weeks if kept refrigerated between uses and not left out for long periods. In all cases with wines of any type, refrigeration is crucial. As mentioned above, if the contents of the bottle is 35% alcohol (70 proof) and above, then refrigeration is not required. I have personally not been able to get my hands on any Falernum as of yet, but I do know that Taylor’s Velvet Falernum is only 11% alcohol. Does anyone have any experience with storing this product?
