If I open a bottle of wine tonight, how long will it last?

Un-Oaked simple whites really should be drunk the next day. White wines aged or fermented in oak will last maybe two days and for red wines 2/3 days. A little tip for red wines: stick the cork back into the bottle; put the bottle in the fridge over night. Red wine is affected by light, so do not stick it on your windowsill. The next night take it out of the fridge about 15 to 20 minutes before you drink it. This helps preserve the fruit flavours in the wine that tend to drop out overnight.
