keeping wine fresh

[FredSP]

When I have wine, its usually white. In general, does white wine, stay fresh overnight, and if so should it be kept chilled once opened? Separately, what do you do with those bottles where the corks simply will not fit back in once opened. How do you keep the wine fresh? I am a wine newbie and thought someone here might be willing to share some tidbits on these issues.

There are some cheap ways to keep your wine fresh. I personally use a wine pump a little gizmo with a rubber stopper and a pump. It sucks al lof the oxygen out of the bottle ans hence keeps the wine fresh.

There are also supposedly some other gadgets that add an inert gas of some sort ..

Most wine can be kept in the refrigerator overnight, some whites will be ok for a couple of days. They don't really go bad, but just don't taste as good.
The air vacuums Rod mentioned help increase the storage time a bit, though personnaly i rarely have to worry about keeping opened wine, it doesnt last that long.   

If you do keep wine for the next day, you may want to pick up some plastic re-usable push in caps from a wine store.  It's not always easy to get a cork back in.  (make sure you wash them in very hot water to avoid any bacteria from spoiling the wine)

If you make your own wine, as I do, bottle some in smaller 375ml bottles for those times when only a half bottle might be needed.

hope this helps
