After opening a bottle of wine, what do I do with the rest of the bottle?

Question

Someone told me it will go bad, and I don't know much about wine.

Answer 1

White wine...put if fridge

Red wine...decant and keep at under 70 degrees..will last to two to four days.  Some reds may even get better after a day or two.

Answer 2

I reccomend you buy a wine stopper and stick it in the fridge :) or you could just finish the bottle lol. Just google wine stopper to see what they look like. Hope I helped!

Answer 3

drink it

Answer 4

Find a homeless person and give it to them !

Answer 5

DRINK IT YA SISSY....THEY AREN'T THAT FULL

Answer 6

Cork it and put it in the refrigerator.  Use it for cooking.  I wouldn't keep it longer than 10 - 14 days, tops.

Answer 7

drink it, duh. Stop being a pansy

Answer 8

re-cork it and save it for tomorrow. Keep white in the fridge, but red is fine on the counter. It is not like beer that will go flat overnight. As long as it's covered, it should keep for a while. (I've even kept a bottle of red wine on the counter un-covered for a day or two and it still tasted good).

Or you can cook with it. Just google recipes and the kind of wine you have and I'm sure you will find something. I made some really yummy chardonnay chicken one time doing that. :)

Answer 9

If it's worth saving, you can get a can of pressurized nitrogen at the liquor store. Put a few squirts of that in the bottle and seal it with the original cork or a T-cork (designed for re-sealing bottles). The problem comes when wine is exposed to oxygen. The nitrogen keeps it away from the wine.
