Can't answer for red wine, but for white try taking a silver teaspoon and hanging it handle down in the bottle :no cork: This will prong the life of your wine for up to two weeks. O ya keep it in the fridge.

You can keep reds in the fridge (it does help them keep longer). Just take it out and let it warm up before you drink it. One of the best ways I have found to keep opened wine, is to put it into a half bottle and put the cork in. The half bottle will keep the headspace low (assuming you have about a half a bottle to fill it with), meaning that little oxygen will get to the wine. Wine is like a cut apple, it oxidizes once you open the bottle. So putting a cork or flip top stopper in the bottle will help to keep the oxygen away. Obviously it is less effective as the bottle empties out. I have heard the silver spoon thing (and about champagne as well), but I have never had a silver spoon, so I can't tell you if it works. :)

I just looked this up the other day. The site I looked at recommended no more than 3 days.

If you want to drink it, 2-3 days. If you want to cook with it, a week to 10 days. And if you like vinegar, 1-3 months.

I will let you know after my husband finishes off the bottle he has been drinking on for over an year and it is still good.

Forever. Some unopened bottles of wine have been discovered dating back to the pirate age, in sunken ships at the bottom of the ocean. The wine was still good and a bottle costs the price of a new home.

store? wine? that's an oxymoron.
