  • Opened bottles of wine perish quickly. But you can store them for a while before they go bad.

The article from CNET provides expert advice on storing leftover red wine after a spring get-together. It emphasizes that red wine can be stored for short-term use by recorking the bottle and keeping it in a cool, dark place, ideally at a temperature between 50 and 55 degrees Fahrenheit. For longer storage, transferring the wine to a smaller container to minimize air exposure is recommended, or using a wine preservation system that removes air from the bottle. The article also suggests that if the wine won't be consumed within a few days, freezing it in ice cube trays for later use in cooking is a practical option. Additionally, it advises checking the wine for spoilage before consuming it, noting signs such as a vinegar-like smell or taste, and a brownish color as indicators that the wine has gone bad.
