Re-cork the wine — if the cork or a stopper is not available, cover opening with plastic wrap and place a rubber band around the bottle neck to seal plastic tightly.
Refrigerating an opened bottle of red wine will help keep it fresher; take wine out of the fridge about an hour before serving to bring back to room temperature.
Leftover wine may be frozen and used later for cooking — freeze in airtight containers or pour wine into ice cube trays; once wine is frozen, transfer cubes to a heavy-duty freezer bag.
Freezer time shown is for best quality only — foods kept constantly frozen at 0° F will keep safe indefinitely.
