Sin of all sins, I failed to finish a bottle of wine some time ago but popped it in the fridge with the lid on.

How long can you leave these things before they go off, and what does it do to you when it goes off.

Thinking back, it's probably a couple of weeks ago, but it was a nice sauvignon blanc, so I decided to have a glass, but I feel a bit ill, and not in a drunk way.  Is it likely to be the vino?

Your 'fridge has a lid ?

Opening a bottle of red and not finishing it in the same evening? How very bizarre!!

sauvignon blanc is a white wine and technically, all fridges have lids :D

Oh sorry, I don't drink white.

Just pour it away and shell out the £6.99 on a fresh bottle  ;D

I have a few in the fridge already, but I've gone off the thought of it now.  Should have done that to start with.

No idea what you do with an unfinished bottle of wine. 

Don't do it again.

i've had one for a couple of years and used it once i think and we drink a lot of wine!!!

only myself to blame I know.  It was....., well, it was...., you know when.....

nah, can't think of a reasonable excuse but it doesn't happen often

I don't have the vacuum thing.

You're probably going to have to call 999 :) lol.  It could be the wine as you let the air get to it then kept in for weeks. lol...  Now if it wass brandy you could get away with it but there is less alcohol in wine. If it was me in this situ, I'd just eat loads and hope to soak it up and calm the nausea down. Good luck :) Next time share a whole bottle and you will manage to get it finished :)

If its a screwtop bottle, will be ok for couple weeks or so. If a cork should be drunk within 2 days.

Any "leftover" wine can always be used in cooking.

If you drink enough you feel ill anyway. This way you have saved both time and money :P

Wine takes a bit longer than a couple of weeks to go off but then I drink plonk that probably tastes the same either way LOL.

I think, but im not sure as I only drink wine when dining out, that if its 'off' it smells and tastes vinegary

If the germs don't get ya then you should prepare yourself for an angry mob of villagers with pitchforks and flaming torches heading up your street.

Absolutely no difference between a screwcap or a cork I'm afraid.

Once opened the wine becomes exposed to the oxygen in our atmosphere and slowly starts to oxydize which will impair the taste. However it should not affect it too much for the first couple of days.

I have one of those vacuvin thingys that seems to work very well although I only usually need it overnight  ::)
