Ideal drinking window

Recently opened and served for a private dinner, these wines were stunning, showing their full potential and in the ideal window for drinking.

Most wines have opening and closing periods, and it can be difficult to predict their ideal drinking windows.

All wine professionals usually speculate about when it could happen, but this is just a lucky guess, an estimate without really knowing when it will be for sure.

But when you've been waiting for the right time to come, and right at opening, you realize the wine is fully open, displaying all its complexity and potential, having reached its ideal drinking window. It is an incredibly satisfying reward for your taste buds.

Facebook just suspended my page recommandations. I don't understand. Since I created this page, my content has always been about wine and promoting wine. My last few posts were about wine, nothing different from usual. So why is Facebook suddenly suspending my page recommandations? I don't get it. I did nothing wrong. And as usual I just posted about wine, what's wrong with that? Can Facebook or someone please explain to me what is going on? And what did I do wrong?

Thank you for your help.
