How to store an opened bottle of wine

You can store an open bottle of wine in the refrigerator for up to 5 days without a negative effect on the wine's taste. Just remember to remove the bottle from the refrigerator with enough time for the wine to achieve its optimal temperature. As a rule of thumb, wine will warm up 4 degrees Fahrenheit every 10 minutes. If you know the temperature in your refrigerator, you can easily calculate how long you must wait before drinking the wine.
