Recork it. smile Different wines react differently, some are even better the second day. If it turns out to taste a little gamey or you forget about it, just cook with it.
And I personally don't refrigerate it (It's alive, you don't want to kill it)

Edited to add I don't know the official wine connoisseur dogma about the matter, but it works for me.

I also have a rule when it comes to wine: put it back and get beer instead.

Y'know... technically, antifreeze falls under that category.

Just FYI.

Oh, come on. People have been known to drink it.

Besides, it's sweet.

If you're going to recork your wine make sure you keep if refrigerated and stored upright. The less amount of surface of wine that comes into contact with oxygen is better. If it's a red wine then bring it back to room temperature before serving. If it's white then keep it slightly chilled when serving. You should get a few weeks of storage out of it, if you didn't leave it uncorked for too long while you were initally consuming. If you do use a vacuum cork, you will likely get an additional week or two under certain circumstances. If the bottle is less than half empty, you will only get a couple days of preserving. If it comes out and has a flat or really sour taste, then use it for cooking.

Cool...

A few weeks though??

Nothing lasts like that around here...I was looking for a day or two w/o hurting the flavor. Thanks for the info though.

Besides, Clara already cleared everything up for me. She's sweet like that.


Just keep it upright in the fridge (not FridgeMagnet's ass) and you'll be straight. Well, you'll still be gay but your wine will be straight. wink
