How long can an unopened bottle of wine last in the fridge

Assuming you don't have a dedicated wine cellar in your house, then there are still a few things you can do when it comes to storing wine so it lasts longer, which will help keep an unopened bottle of red in good condition.

These include keeping the wine in a cool, dry place, with the bottles resting on their sides rather than upright to keep the cork moist.

A cool, dark place could be any place in your home that has a fairly consistent temperature, such as a basement, garage, or even in a cupboard.

The key is to stop light getting to the wine, which can speed up the process of oxidation. And keep the bottle away from heat sources, such as a kitchen stove, as well as away from any places with frequently changing temperatures, such as near windows.

Placing the bottles on their sides will also stop air from getting to the wine, again slowing down oxidation.

Once red wine has been opened, it can last up to five days if stored correctly. This includes making sure it's well-sealed, ideally using a bottle stopper or vacuum pump.
