My wife like the bolder reds and zins are among her favorites. We recently got a few variants of "Odd Lot" from Monterrey County. One is a cab/syrah blend, I'm guessing more on the syrah side because it is relatively light, drank like a pinot noir to me. The other was a petite verdot/petite syrah blend which was bolder. I think the wife got them at Fry's (Kroger back east), probably in the $15 range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flipper 57 Posted May 23, 2020 General red wine question: After you uncork a bottle is there a 7-day shelf-life before wine goes 'bad'? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you have a seal that allows for removing extra air? If so, it lasts longer, but I am not sure about 7 days because we don’t wait that long. The quality of wine will be a factor too.

Depends on the bottle, and your preservation equipment and temperature. With just its own cork, I have had some last a couple of weeks. Some have turned in a few days.
