Opened wine- how long is it OK for?!
Answers: I have some wine that has a stopper in from the day it was opened. How long will it taste OK for?
1 to 2 days but refrigeration can extend it 6 to 16x depending on the wine. Flavor and aroma begin to degrade in as little as 6 hours at room temp.
If you store in the refrigerator a few days is tops. Whites a little longer than reds. I figure two days for red and up to a week for most whites.
Reds can actually improve with 24 hours, but start going downhill pretty quick after that.
I usually give them about 3 days and start getting worried, after 5 I would dump them.
How long has it been opened? An opened bottle of wine should not be kept more than a day or so. Even if a pump is used. Keep it to use for cooking.
I would say about 5-7 days.
I have had opened sweet fruit wines in the fridge for up to a month, and the flavor changes, but its like less alcohol more fruit as a result. If not refridgerated, i wouldn't keep it past a day or two. just taste it and if you don't like it anymore, dump it, if you do drink it. thats kinda what i base mine on
