How long can wine be stored at room temperature once it has been opened?

Not long. Some old, fragile wines begin to deteriorate immediately upon opening. Although I haven't experienced it personally, I have been told (and I've read) that very old wines will actually noticeably fade within minutes of opening. In other words, the first glass may taste great, but that's it. But that is an extreme case. You're talking about everyday wines. It has been my experience that opened bottles of just about any red wine will deteriorate in a day or two if left out. Placing them in the fridge doesn't seem to help much. The deterioration in primarily due to oxidation, which colder temps don't do much to reduce. I have had some success, however, with those vacuum pumps closures. Wines seem to taste better the next day, and even the day after that, if I use the pump closures, which evacuate air from the bottle and reduce the oxidizing effect. White wines seem to do better than reds after opening, and jug wines, even reds, seem to hold up pretty well, also.

∙ 14y agoIt depends on the wine and on your personal taste. In theory, for years. However you may get more pleasure from opening the vinegar in your cupboard than drinking the wine.
Certain wines have properties that allow it to be potable for longer. However , once open oxygen will cause the wine to age. There are some Vacumm Corks on the market that allow you to pull the air from the bottle once it has been re-corked thus stopping the oxidization process
Buy an inexpensive rubber stopper and pump. Pump the air out of the bottle and refrigerate in a wine cooler. This can make the bootle last for several days, especially if you repump it.

∙ 12y agoRed wine can last for quite some time in the refrigerator but it probably won't taste its best. Red wine should be drank at room temperature and always best when opened and finished.
If you use a simple wine pump and rubber stopper and remove the air from the bottle before putting it in the refrigerator, then the wine can last for several days. You might want to pump it each day to keep it at its freshest. Use a wine refrigerator though, it keeps wines at their proper storage and serving temperatures. A kitchen refrigerator is too cold.
