Nothing will happen to it as long as you seal it immediately and do not leave too large an area exposed to oxygen. Much depends on the alcohol content of the wine, but providing you haven't drunk too much of it and you can decant it into another container leaving little or no air space over the top of the wine, then there will be little change. Ask your local "posh" restaurant for a few half bottles, clean them and save some in those with a sherry bottle stopper in the top.
Not that I ever bother with that of course.

there is no longer sufficient floor to air contact to make a large difference less than some hours. in case you extremely opt for the wine to breath decant it. A 1/2 way technique is to pour a tumbler as a effect increasing the exterior section uncovered to air. in case you decant (double the time for the glass technique) the time extremely relies upon on the wine and its age. extremely previous wines might want to be damaged by technique of too a lot time. extremely new wines received't income a lot from the finished procedure. For the middle elderly wine (10-2 many years) 30 - 40 5 minutes will do. what's important, and perchance more suitable important, is the wine's temperature at provider. ideally which will be 65F+- 5F. If the wine is any chillier you'll lose flavor and any higher the alcohol turns into too dominant. And boy is this actual for those 16% blockbuster zinfandels! contained in the wine commerce we strive to flavor both purple and white wines somewhat hotter because it shows up any flaws contained in the wine it really is exactly no longer what you opt for now that you personal the bottle. And at the same time as i'm on the challenge of temperature, the 38F+- temperature of the refrigerator is a few distance too chilly for white wines, rather French ones. Your objective the following is 50-55F. in basic terms take them out of the refrigerator 1/2-hour before provider.

The moment you open any wine (Especially red) it starts to oxidise with the air, a decent red wine will spoil in hours. You can get a vac-u-vin system that "sucks" the air out of the causing a vacuum in the bottle making a wine last for upto a week. But it has to be said if you open a wine surely you should finish it??

As soon as the bottle is opened the wine will begin to react with the air giving it a certain length of time before it starts to taste really bad, usually 2- 3 days

yes when it's opened and there air gets to it, it changes the taste of it. You can buy a tool that sucks all the air out of the bottle after you open it. This helps it stay longer. I have seen the tool at Raleys it kinda looks like a pump.

Once the wine has been exposed to air, bacteria can get in. After 3 days the wine will start to develop spoilage mould which you can't always see, the same as you get in fruit juice. It won't kill you, but it might not taste as good.

It would be drinkable, but it won't be as good as before you opened it, and you'll have to keep it in the fridge. Yes, even if it's red.
