I only drink a small glass with dinner 3 or 4 nights a week and find I dont consume the whole bottle before it goes bad. Looking for answers from people with personal experience, not answers based on theoretical knowledge (I can look that up myself).

I should add that I only drink 1/2 cup at a time so there is still some wine left after a week.

Bag keeps best by far. I was in the wine business for a while and had several vintners tell me that if the public would accept it, they'd package all their wines in bag-in-box or screw-cap, plastic-lined bottles. They lose far too much wine to cold shipping conditions(corks shrink in the cold and wine becomes oxidized), improper storage, and the less than airtight seal provided by corks.

Buy half bottles. If your only drinking that much every day even bagged wine will go bad before you finish it. In my wine store we stock 10 or 12 half bottles. We are attached to a resort many guests only want one drink before bed. Check out other hotel based wine stores.
Also red wine stays fresh longer in you put it in the fridge. Just allow it to warm up a bit before drinking.

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.

a bottle of wine doesn't really go bad. and a regular size serves about 3 1/2 glasses. the box or bag of wine could go on for weeks if you dont drink a lot. in my experience the bottle never fails me. just cork it when storing it on the counter or in the fridge

The bottle, especially if you go buy that wine saver from a liquor store (Its in a little bottle and uses Nitrogen to preserve opened bottles) I use it all the time especially since I keep opened bottles of wine around like yourself.

there are now good quality wines available in the box. Even though these are larger quantities, the bag is airtight and keeps the wine fresh.

bottles come in smaller sizes than the box so it will be a smaller amount of wine to drink.
