    Store it on its side so that the cork dosent dry up and allow oxygen to stale the wine… also keep it out of sunlight and at a temp of around 67.. Cheers and good luck

    depends what you want to do with it

    most red wines aren’t very good a few days to a week after opening

    if you refridgerate it, it could possibly last longer, but you would want to let it warm up again closer to room temp before consuming… if you are using it for cooking, just throw it in there for however long you want.

    Only if it’s warm, i.e. room temperature. But do not chill it.

    If you are serving it then yes if not then it should be fine in your pantry.
