how long does a bottle of wine last when it is open
A: It depends on the type of wine and how well the wine is stored. Fortified wines can last open for up to a month, but most table wines last only about 3â5 days before spoiling. Donât worry, old wine wonât hurt you, itâs just not as yummy!

So, a light red with very little tannin, such as Pinot Noir, wonât last open as long as a rich red like Petite Sirah. Some wines will even improve after the first day open.
