how long can i keep an open wine bottle ? and should i keep it in the fridge.?

Answer 1

Replace the cork and put it in the fridge if its white, leave at room temp for reds.

Answer 2

I don't really know. I am drinking my own wine that I made with my own hands that cost me about $18. cents for about 26 oz bottle. The private citezin(I'M drunk) is allowed by law, to make 200 gallons of wine a year. I am not a snob about wine, or any alcohol, and have never been able to keep a small bottle of open anything... I usually put it in the fridge, with full intents on drinking it at a certain hour that very day, then I watch the clock visiously as the seconds tick by .... then start drinking about 40 minutes before the time I had set for myself ... not to mention all the smokes I've had in between, which makes my throutr reallyu dry ... What say you?

Answer 3

White and blush wine keep refridgerated.
Red wine keep at room temp. corked and sitting on the counter.

As for spoilage....Both will go rancid in about a week. Air is wine's number one villian. Always keep it tightly corked. If they wine has a vinegary taste then it has gone "bad" but will be great to cook with.

Answer 4

Unless you are talking about one of those over-sized magnum bottles, just finish it off in a couple of days. 24 to 48 hours of minimal exposure to oxygen will have some affect on the wine, but not enough to make it undrinkable.

Answer 5

white goes in the fridge red doesn't.

Both will keep OK for a few days.

Answer 6

You'll taste a difference ther very next day, even if you store it in the fridge.

Answer 7

The longer you keep it the fresher the taste is. That is why wine is more expensive aged.
