    How long does wine last once opened????

    I figure you'd know this!! :laugh:

    It'll last the 20 minutes it takes to drink it! :bigsmile:

    LMAO---cause that would have been the answer to the question too!

    Atta-girl! :drinker: :wink:

    Now I'm thinking of cracking open a bottle. sounds yummy huh? I haven't had wine since Dec 6th...I'm due! LMAO

    Tam - if it were a serious question, about 48 hours (although some say 3 days). In the restaurant industry (a lifetime ago I worked for Keg Steakhouses) we served some wines by the glass, and the bottles, once opened, had to be served within 3 days.
    :flowerforyou:

    Lately, the hubby and I have been on a "bottle per night" reigmen, and I think you are wise to pace yourself!
    :tongue:
    Thanks Amanda!!

    It actually WAS a serious question but I kind of lost my train of thought. Go figure!! :laugh:

    I'm the only one who drinks in my house, so it is all up to me to get the bottle taken care of! :wink:

    I cook with it! If I am the only one who will drink it and I have 1 maybe 2 glasses then wont want another for months. So I plan around it. If I buy red I make a roast, if I buy white I make chicken. yummy!

    Oh yeah, enjoy it for a few nights, then cook away! I love arewethereyet's ideas... I also use white in vegetarian dishes (I just did a lentil curry the other night, and used up some white!).

    Shannon,

    This weekend I opened up a bottle of red wine. It was corked but had no year on it.

    Is this considered a good wine?

    Maximus,

    I'm happy to see that you are no longer buying wine in a box. I'm sure it was good.

    Love,

    Shannon
