How long does wine keep when opened?

Dont know about red but white begins to turn after a couple of days of being opened.

Doh. I knew I should have used it up by now

If it doesn't smell of vinegar, I would try tasting a bit - if it tastes okay, I would drink it!

Hey.

Sorry if this is in the completely wrong forum, which no doubt it is.

How long does red wine keep for after being opened and refrigerated?

I've had an open bottle, re-corked in my fridge for about two and a bit weeks now.

Cheers

have a swig and trust your tastebuds! I've kept red wine refridgerated for weeks and it's been fine.

take a tip from Delia - freeze any leftover wine (???) in ice cube trays and use it for stocks and sauces!

I admire your will power, there is a law in my house that wine needs to be drunk on the day it's opened.

I have never refrigerated red wine either, go on have a small swig and let us know what it tastes like!

You are right about this not being the best place for your post, it should probably be in Old Style so I will move it there, you might get more responses in there.

Thanks for all the replies

I wasn't brave enough to take a swig so its back in its resting place in the fridge for now lol

If it's not drinkable, use if for cooking... Waste not want not...

Ooooh, never thought of using it in cooking.

What can I use it with? Bear in mind I have zero ability at cooking!
