how long is a bottle of wine chilled good for once opened?

Question

i have no clue...?

ok the cork has been in. how long?

Answer 1

For Red wine, usually a day or two if it's kept chilled in the fridge. I recommend getting the plastic pump that removes air from wine bottles.

They sell them at the liquor store for about $5, and I've found they really work. This will add a good 3 days to your wine--it amazed me the first time I used it!

As for white wine, it seems to last a little longer, but again, if you use the pump, you can add a day or two. Trust your taste buds though--if it smells or tastes different, then just pour it out and open a new bottle. ENJOY!

Answer 2

Wine is like beer - once you chill it it needs to stay chilled once it warms up it looses some of its flavor.

If you re-cork it - or pump it as some have suggested - make sure you put it back in the fridge. Chilling a wine will make it last longer - that applies to both red and white wines.

Plan on 2 days tops for best flavor for whites after opening - 3 if you pump. most wine start to lose flavor within a couple of hours of opening, you can still drink them for a week, but they won't taste like they do when first opened.

Answer 3

Well it's kind of up to your taste buds. I'll asume you are talking about white but in any case, if you can take the air out it will last a good week then it may start to taste oxidized.

Answer 4

If it doesnt have a lid or you cant get the cork back in its only good for about a day

Answer 5

After about a day I would use it for cooking unless you own one of these ( http://www.sharperimagebest.com/vi600.html ) in which case it is like it was never opened.

Answer 6

Red - a few days. White - maybe 10 days.

Answer 7

Maybe two days tops before it starts to taste like crap. Bottoms Up!!!!
