[PHOTO] How Long Do Different Wines Keep After You Open Them?

Whether white, red, sparkling or even rosé, it can be really tricky to know what to do with your leftover wine and how long you can keep an open bottle for before throwing it away.

But it turns out the majority of people are pouring wine away on a much more regular basis than they need to.

Once opened, white wines and rosés can be kept for up to a week and fortified wines will last for up to 28 days.

The reason most people throw away wine is that they don’t know how long a bottle can be kept for and are afraid it will have turned bad.

People also said that they throw wine away because they forgot about it or accidentally opened another bottle at the same time.

To ensure your wine lasts longer, you should make sure to store it upright - this reduces the surface area exposed to oxygen, which can spoil the wine faster.

Take a look at the chart below to know how long you keep different wines once you open them.
