How long do you wait before it goes bad?

Jersey Shore! Summer time gets high humidity but also gets high temps.

To store wine it needs to be kept around 52 F. or so with very little variation in temperature or humidity level. The wine should be laid on its side in order to keep the cork moist.

Then, as stated above, it needs to be from a quality producer from a decent fruit.

Lots of variables there, but it is the variables that make drinking various different wines so much fun.

Sorry your wine went bad on you. There are some decent producers in Long Island, NY and in Newport, Rhode Island. I'm willing to guess your red went to vinegar because you did not store it properly.
