Storing Wine?!
Answers: I have a bottle of wine that I am ready to drink. I didn't want to store it in the fridge, because I wouldn't drink it until the weekends. Anyway, once I open it, would I be able to keep it fresh in my cubbard without it spoiling, once I put the cork back on?
in a dark dry cool place if unopened. once you open it the easiest thing to do is simply recork the bottle, put it in the fridge and drink it within a day or two. It takes a week or so for wine to really start going bad. Letting a bottle sit out for a few days will not ruin it. However, after a few days a wine will lose its flavor and begin to go flat. The best, and most difficult, way to maintain a bottle after it's been opened is to use an inert gas that puts a protective layer between the wine and oxygen. A more practical way to keep your better wines for a few days is to use a pump (you can get at a liquor store) that removes the oxygen from the bottle. Don't forget the other option of buying half bottles for those evenings when you and your significant other only want a glass or two.

wine is fine but whiskeys quicker!
Wine doesn't spoil like dairy or meats, which go bad from bacteria and should be kept in the fridge to retard spoilage, since most bacteria don't do that well in the cold. Wine spoils from its exposure to oxygen, and that begins the moment you open the bottle and continues regardless of where you store it (fridge or cupboard). The only way to keep an opened bottle "fresh" is by removing the oxygen and resealing it, but even then it won't keep forever. The vaccuum pumps and stoppers sold in wine shops work OK, and will keep your wine for up to 10 days or so. My suggestion, however, is to invite some friends over and have the whole bottle!
