"Industrial sponsorship is sought:

I think this is more of the issue. Can you blame them?

I'm a little late here, but I would drink it. I hope you did!!!!

I still haven't drunk it. Should I throw it out??

Yeh - its probably dead.

How long does opened wine keep for? Also, when I run into this problem I whittle down the end of part of the cork just enough so I can stick it securely back in the bottle.

Red wine that is properly sealed can last for 2-3 days. White wine that is refrigerated can usually last a little bit longer but not too long.

Jesher,

1 or 2 days, no cork and no vacu-vin: stick some tin foil in the top and leave it on your counter, not the end of the world

up to 1 week: vacu-vin it (that is the little gizmo people are referring to) and put in in the refrigerator

more than 1 week: put red wine in tupperware or a freezer ziploc, freeze it, and use it for cooking. Works really well.
