KOMPAS.com – Muscat grapes, especially the Shine Muscat variety from Japan, are famous for their sweet taste, thick flesh and refreshing aroma.
This seedless fruit also has a thin skin that can be consumed immediately, making it highly sought after and referred to as the ‘Queen of Muscats.’
Storing Muscat wine properly is very important so that its freshness is maintained, especially if you want to enjoy its best quality for days, as reported on the Japan Food and Google Art and Cultures pages by the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.

1. Do not wash before storing
Muscat grapes should not be washed until they are ready to be eaten. Moisture from water can speed up rotting. For long-term storage, store grapes dry to maintain their texture and freshness.
2. Use a plastic bag or airtight container
Store Muscat grapes in a plastic bag or airtight container before placing in the refrigerator. This step can protect the grapes from exposure to air which can reduce humidity and cause them to wilt quickly.
3. Place in the Vegetable Drawer of the Refrigerator
Refrigerators have vegetable drawers which are suitable for storing grapes as they provide a more stable temperature and maintain proper humidity levels. Muscat grapes stored here can stay fresh for up to a week or more.
4. How to Store to Add Freshness
To add a sensation of freshness, you can put Muscat grapes in the freezer and consume them semi-frozen. This gives an ice-like sensation, suitable to be enjoyed in hot weather without reducing the sweet taste.
5. Avoid storing at room temperature
Although Muscat grapes are quite durable, room temperature can speed up the spoilage process. Therefore, store wine in the refrigerator if not consuming it immediately.
With proper storage methods, Muscat wine will remain delicious, fresh and ready to be enjoyed at any time.
