I had asked a previous question, got some good answers, and have a follow up question.
This has to do with wine and long it will last after opening. I will be more specific on the type of wine and length of times.
Sunday Afternoon around 3PM I opened up a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon (Estate Grown 2006) - This, I believe, is a Dry Red Wine. I used a cup of it for cooking purposes. After using a cup of it, I put the cork back in as best I can, though I am not saying it is in there 100%. I then let the corked bottle of remaining wine sit on my kitchen counter up till now, very late Tuesday Night...So it has been just over 2 days since the wine was opened and partly used.
This Saturday I plan on using wine, again, in my cooking, and wanted to use the same wine I had used this past Sunday. I would like to duplicate the dish I made on Sunday, so I would like the wine to add to my sauce in the same way. I am not planning on drinking this wine.
Should I:
1. Throw it out and get a new bottle for this Saturday?
2. Simply leave it corked and refrigerate it?
3. Can I freeze it to use it on Saturday (Again, just for cooking purposes)
I have read articles saying how the content of the wine can change once air is let in, and also if you freeze it, and then I read that using wine in cooking (especially, I believe, when deglazing and then simmering) will tend to burn the alcohol off anyways....So, considering all of this, what do you guys think?
