Info~Storing Alchoholic Drinks: 4 Easy Tips
• proof wine
Here are four quick tips on what alchohol to refrigerate:
Alchoholic beverages that are 70 proof (35% percent alchohol--just half the number for your proof) and higher or cordials (alchoholic sweeteners essentially) that are not dairy based will be fine at room temperature for as long as you'd like.
Wines that are fortifed like Madeira, Port and Sherry should be kept in the refrigerator after opening.
Sweet wines can last to about four weeks in the refrigerator.
Vermouth and aromatic wines usually last about four weeks if kept refrigerated.
Refrigeration is usually a safe bet.

Chinchin!


what about normal red and white wine?

How long can they be stored, and how we should store them?

The answer varies. A full bodied red (like a cabernet) might be good to go for a couple day, if corked after use. And maybe 3-4 if the wine is vacuumed. (Wine vacuums soon to be available in our store, infact)
A light bodied red (like a noir) is good for less, maybe a day and two if vacuumed.

White wines can last 3-4 days if kept in the fridge.

Drink moderately!
