Title needs to be changed to "how long does a bottle of wine keep after it is opened", because I can assure you from long experience the answer to the titular question is: about an hour and a half.
- cosmodisk 6y agoThis is very accurate estimate. Frankly, I very much doubt many people would leave half empty wine bottle for weeks or months.
- dylan604 6y agoIf you plan to cook with the remaining wine, it will remain viable longer for that purpose than for drinking. At least, according to the internet.
- 2muchcoffeeman 6y agoJust put it in the fridge. But even vinegar is useful.
- Groxx 6y agoA few parties I've been to have had several bottles of partially-remaining wine left over - unless you drink a moderate amount daily, it could easily take a couple weeks to get through. For that kind of scenario, you're left with options like "drink it all ASAP", or "drink a little, dump the rest", or "find some way to make it last longer".
- ashtonkem 6y agoOr if you opened something far off your normal preference, such as a bottle of white for me.

- jhowell 6y agoI do, often, unfortunately. It gets poured down the drain.
- ogre_codes 6y agoThis is why I avoid buying beer in growlers. My wife and I just don't drink enough to kill a bottle before it's done. If I have friends over, it goes fast, but that's not really a thing right now. They do make cans of wine... I know it's a crazy idea, but my friend who likes wine loves the single serving size.
- mark-r 6y agoI thought the 750ml bottle was a single serving size? For a joke, my family got me a 750ml glass a couple of Christmases ago. I have yet to use it.
- cperciva 6y ago750 ml has nothing to do with how much wine people are expected to drink at once; it's an artifact of glass-blowing. A typical medieval glass-blower's lungs allowed them to create bottles of 700-800 ml with a single long breath.
- mark-r 6y agoThat's a very cool piece of useless trivia. Thanks.
- jasone 6y agoIs there something about glass blowing which makes it air-inefficient? My vague recollection from my time as a low brass player in college is that the prof's lung capacity measuring apparatus (yes, really) put most of us in the 3-4L range, with one outlier around 5L. Granted, we were trained for such magnificent feats of blowing hot air, but so too must glass blowers be.

- krzyk 6y agoI do, as a bottle of wine for one is too much so I keep it in the fridge for weeks and drink half a cup or less once in a while.
- ogre_codes 6y agoNot a wine drinker myself, but this is roughly what I was thinking when I read the title. My thought was it depends largely on how many friends you have over and whether there is good beer around to distract them.
- klyrs 6y agoAbout a month or two, in my kitchen. I use a few splashes to deglaze pan sauces, or accelerate the caramelization of onions. I'm sure it's gone off by somebody's standards, but I get no complaints
- toyg 6y agoI do the same, but I would not call that "wine" after a few days. It's effectively vinegar-in-waiting.
- stolenmerch 6y agoI use wine to do the same, but I just finish off the bottle. Also get no complaints.
- tomcam 6y agoHow much does it accelerate caramelization?
