We have no left over wine in my house - especially red!
But you can preserve it very well with a Vac-U-Vin device available from Tesco or similar outlets. It's a system of a rubber bung with a slit in the top and a hand operated pump that sucks the air out to keep the wine fresh.
From personal experience, it works very well indeed.
You could also freeze leftover wine to use in stews/soups etc. Ice cube bags or trays......

RED--1 to 3 days (2 days being average), depending on the wine.

WHITE--It really depends on the wine. Some can last quite a while in the refridgerator, sometimes a week or two. Others will go bad more quickly.

Wines with a higher sulfite content will be on the higher end of the range because sulfites prevent oxidation, whereas unsulfited reds (esp. organic wines) can go bad in a matter of hours. Acidity can also play into this; acidic wines (pH 4.3 or less, Italian reds are often very acidic) tend to last a little longer.

If you just want a glass with dinner and for cooking, you might want to consider boxed wine. I know that boxed wine has a reputation for being a bit trashy, but it will stay good in the fridge for up to a month. It's shelf life is only a few years, though, unlike bottled wine.

Depends on what wine you've got. Good vintage wine , if possible, once opened , try to store in a basement or in a room temperature around 14 to 15 degree celcius , then it will last up to one week. Other cheap wine you better consume it within 2 days.

White in a fridge probably two days. Red wine I would say out of the fridge about four days. Obviously keep it airtight and away from heat and direct sunlight.

I asked my friend (who is a sommelier) and he said at the very maximum 3 days (refridgerated for white, room temp but cork in for red)

Put the cork back in and leave it in the fridge. Don't know how long you can keep it as I've never kept one for more than three days.
