Drinks and drink staples, from coffee to wine to plant-based milks, have pantry times before opening and fridge times after, and the official sources do not always agree on either. Each page lists every state the sources cover, unopened, opened or brewed, with the times from USDA FoodKeeper next to university extension charts and the date we checked each source. Where a source gives a quality time rather than a safety time, the page says so. Nothing is estimated: if no official source covers a cell, it says Not stated, and the shared rules, such as the 2-hour limit for perishable food, have their own guides.
