how long is wine good for after it has been opened?

[Deleted]

A couple days? weeks?

recorked and in the fridge.

Who lets good wine sit long enough to ask this kind of question?

[wampuscat]

lol. Wine does not last that long in my house, so I have no idea. (not helpful)

About 3 days, but you should be able to smell if it's turned.

45 minutes?

This, but I rarely have a bottle after 2 days.

Like other's, I don't really have this problem - try a sip, if it tastes bad just spit it out! Very scientific!

I don't think I've ever, even once, had to worry about this. Wine is my friend.

Not more than a couple days. If it's refrigerated, it may last a little longer, but the flavor is going to diminish once it sits for more than a few hours. If we don't finish a bottle, I'll generally stash it in the fridge to cook with. Wine doesn't really go bad so much as the flavor just dies. It's still fine to cook with, even a couple months later.

An hour?

2 glasses? I really don't know.

I don't like red wine after the second day. I can't even drink it. I have drank it and enjoyed it on the second day. I'm not sure about white.

I don't understand the question

What if you use one of those vacuum pump things? Still only three days?

It usually takes me 4-5 days to finish a bottle. Tastes fine to me by the end using a vacuum sealer, but I generally drink really cheap wine so maybe it tastes bad to begin with.

Oh, I'm not sure. I have no use for that since 99% of the time, me and H just finish the bottle. I'd be interested in what other wine drinkers have to say about it. I'm not sure we'll find answers here, though. lol
