Contrary to popular belief, you do not need any tools or potions to keep an open bottle fresh: all you need is your cork. Adams explains, "To get the most out of your bottle of wine and make sure it keeps fresh for as long as possible, you don't need any fancy bottles stoppers or spray can preservers. My tried and true method is to push the cork as far back into the bottle as possible and put it in the fridge, red or white." While no wine can be kept forever, this does extend drinkability for some time — and costs you nothing. "It should keep for two to three days," Adams says. "But every wine has a different shelf life."
