Just re-cork it, but it won't keep forever. You should just finish the bottle....

Depends on how long before you finish the bottle. If you are planning on keeping it overnight, yes you can refrigerate it - it will stay fresher. If you have one of the co2 dispensers that would be better or one of the pumps that remove the oxygen (worst thing for wine) and caps it then that would be great. Remember wine will lose it's fruitiness within a day or two but will be still drinkable just not as good as when opened. Refrigeration adds to the life of the opened wine (be sure to recork it)

I could repeat the millions of things that have been said already about storage of opened wine, but that would just be redundant. Here's what they missed: Although wine should never be expected to have the same flavor as it did before being recorked, you need to look at the varietal your are drinking. For instance, if you were speaking of a chianti or zinfandel, you would be losing alot of that dry, oaky flavor that makes it that type of wine. In your case, you have a pinot noir, the lightest of the red wine varietals. You have an aromatic, fruity wine that will begin to lose it's sweetness. My suggestion to you is if you absolutly cannot finish a bottle of wine in one sitting (not by yourself, just if you have leftover), the best thing to do is bite the bullet and use it for a spicy arriabita tomato sauce or beef stew the next night.

well the warmer the room temp.the wine alcohol level goes it u will tend to smell the alcohol in the wine,and the cooler the room the wine tends to taste dull.Its good for red wines to be stored around 55 degree.But you do not want to store you wine for any long length of time at room temp because of the aging process of wine,You will end up cooking the bottle and robbing the wine of its aroma and flavor.One rule of thumb do not ever!!serve a wine in a 70 dgree temp or higher.hopes this helps.

White wine tastes better served between 9-14 C and champagne is best between 6-10 C but the temperature you choose to drink it at is up to you, it will not damage the wine to be unrefrigerated.

white wine should be refridgerated.
Red Wine you can leave out, tightly corked for up to 3 days and no longer.
