Should we drink it?
We opened a decent bottle of red wine Wednesday night w/ dinner. The half full bottle got left out on the counter sans cork. It's now Friday night. Should we finish it with dinner?

Shouldn't be anything wrong with it.

Re: Should we drink it?
It depends on the quality of the wine. Thats a pretty long time for a wine to be opened. I would guess its oxidized..
In the business.

It is/was a nice ($17) bottle of cab-sav my parents brought over... (the second of two actually - we finished the first bottle properly)
oxidized you say? i know what that does to iron, but not wine.

Just drink it. Don't let it go to waste. It is $8 after all. Or just drink some more alcohol beforehand, and then you won't really care what it tastes like.

Cab Sav is a red wine which you do NOT refrigerate so drink it and enjoy my friend!

Re: Should we drink it?
When wine oxidizes, it turns into vinegar; hence, red wine vinegar. But it won't do it after just 2 days. You can make homemade wine vinegar by opening a bottle of wine and letting it sit for a few weeks.

Re: Should we drink it?
Probably not completely, but enough to taste different. He left it uncorked the whole time which increases the chance that it will be unpleasant. Originally Posted by sordavie

Re: Should we drink it?
It will taste fine. DId you put the cork in to seal it off half way. The worst that could happen is it would taste a bit different but no harm to you

Re: Should we drink it?
Like Browna says, use it to cook something nice if you're worried about the taste.

Re: Should we drink it?
What you will typically see in oxidized wine is that there will no longer be any fruit flavors left. Your probably left with a wine that is out of balance. There will be tannins, alcohol and acidity left thats about it. It will start to taste similar to sherry.
I voted for not drinking it but you never know.
