Is it ever ok to drink some of yesterday's white wine?

[paperdoll]

Or is it always "off" the next day?

Had 1 glass out of bottle last night, and could really fancy having one tonight too. Bottle is still in fridge calling to me as I clear up kitchen ... seems a shame to chuck it out, etc etc

I would drink it.

honey... drink it! It will be fine!

[hic]

you had some leftover???

It will be fine btw

You seriously chuck it after just one day???

Drink it!

Yes, you can definitely drink wine that has been open for a day or two. Keep white wine in te fridge, red wine at room temperature. And ideally put the cork back in or use a stopped, so smells from the fridge don't go into it.

no it's not ok............

You left wine unfinished in the bottle

Seriously - no it's absolutely fine, I often make a bottle of wine stretch a couple of days if I've got it to myself.

You are lucky to have some left over...

drink it

we have one of those vacuum stopper things which is supposed to reduce the "going off"

Are you mad, woman? get it drunk!

(in happystory's house, there is never an unfinished bottle )

SOrry I didn't mean to sound precious, I just remember being told by someone (older man, therefore "expert") that white must Always Be Thrown Away after 1 day, whereas red could stick around. Was hoping that you would all tell me it was bollocks so thank you

Aahhh.

Wine expert lied.

Why do you think there is such a thing as wine stoppers? Do you think bars and restaurants throw out all the opened bottles at the end of the day?

Decent wine will be fine after opening for a few weeks. Not-so-good wine will last a few days, minimum.

Drink it!

I would drink it all in one go next time, just to be on the safe side

If only I could stay awake long enough I would have done just that.

rubbish wine might taste a bit vinegary if you leave the top off, but just add a bit of lemonade in that case

After the first glass you won't notice if it tastes a bit funny.
