Air is the enemy: oxygen slowly turns wine flat, then vinegary. Recork tightly, refrigerate everything (yes, reds too; just warm them back up before serving, see the serving temperature guide), and keep half-finished bottles upright. Smaller air gap = longer life, so pouring leftovers into a half bottle helps.
Planning ahead next time
Buying the right amount avoids the leftover problem entirely; the wine party calculator tells you how many bottles you actually need. And before you open something special, scan the label with Vino AI to check its drink window and get serving advice from the AI sommelier.
