Red wine open 5 days - would you risk it?

[ChristmasStartedAlready]

I opened a bottle Boxing Day and only had two glasses from it. Seems a shame to throw it away as was nice. (And I don't have any other wine to have a glass now!)

But is it worth the risk?

What risk? At worst it just won't taste very nice.

Risk? Of what? It might not taste very nice, it won’t do you any harm!

Freeze it for cooking and drink something nice

Knock it the fuck back OP

No risk

Or do what @Cheesymonster says.... #newbestfriend

The only risk is it might taste a bit stale

you might find it tastes better! Red wine seems to taste good after a day or two. .not sure about 5. why not try?

It’ll be fine!

Get it down your neck

God yeah, go for it! If it takes like vinegar just pour it down the sink.

@Cheesymonster please can we go for drinks when this is over 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂

Just smell it and you'll know if it has turned. I suspect it has after 5 days.

You’ve just been aerating it.

Has it had a cork in? Will be absolutely fine if so. Otherwise a bit vinegary maybe?

I was really sick once after drinking red wine that had been open a long time (possibly months). Although I had also had a lot of other booze that night! Maybe I'm over cautious.

Freeze it for cooking and drink something nice it was a present and better than I would normally buy.

Seems maybe I'm fussing. Will give it a go!

Drink it

Pop an ice cube in it and drink it

Why????

At worst it will taste bad. Red wine in my experience lasts better than white wine.

It has a slight after taste it didn't have before - but that's more like what I'm used to! Perfectly drinkable.

I've heard of people who have a partially drunk bottle of wine but never actually met one. Probably because I like to 'tidy up' and it just seems polite.

For gods sake, get it down you. Needs must!

Well, shit. I never knew wine could go off
Oh well, I'm still alive and kicking!

Well I survived (and no, not a big drinker!)
