Is It Safe To Use Old Wine For Cooking? - Tasting Table

First things first ... there's no need to consign your half-open cabernet sauvignon or chardonnay to cooking duties just because it has been open overnight. Wine once opened and exposed to oxygen begins to oxidize, a chemical process that over time will degrade the wine and make it undrinkable. But, as Wine Folly explains, most wines remain drinkable for three to five days after they are opened. This timeline will depend upon the type of wine, of course. Red wines, for example, typically last a bit longer than white wines because they have more tannins, and per Decanter, these chemical compounds play an important part in wine's ability to age.

But after three to five days, you can begin to consider using your old wine for cooking purposes, from braising meats to flavoring stews. Remember, proper storage is essential to extend the wine's life. According to Chef's Vision, keeping the wine in the refrigerator on its side, with the cork in, will help preserve the wine for cooking use for up to two months or more. It's very important, however, to keep wine away from heat — at least until you're cooking with it. Heat expedites the degradation of wine. A cool refrigerated environment helps to preserve it.
