  A good red? If you keep the cork wet? Much longer than the refrigerator. A cheap wine? (And that’s by quality, not money.) Maybe a few weeks, if you keep the cork wet - a couple of days if you don’t.

  (You’ll taste it if it’s too old. It’s not dangerous, you just wouldn’t want to drink it.)

  I have never witnessed one lasting more than a few hours.

  About 1 week. Air is what causes any wine to go bad, even brief exposure. The best way to store an open bottle of wine is to decant it into a smaller container to eliminate any air, seal tightly. Keep refrigerated and the most you will get is about a week.

  As long as it takes to drink the whole bottle in one sitting which would be between 30 and 40 minutes for two people in warm conversation.
  It would be too crowded for two people or more to drink in the refrigerator especially with winter coatd on!
