Drink what you like. If you like Merlot, have at it!!

The answer to your question is this. Buy a can of Wine Reserve Wine Preserve. You can get it in a good wine store.

Basically wine dislikes 3 things. Oxygen, heat and light. It's really hard to control the oxygen which is why they made this.

The Preserve is actually nitrogen in a can. The can will feel empty, but it's in there. By spraying the nitrogen into the bottle you are forcing the oxygen out and this forms a layer between the cork and the wine.

The wine will last a lot longer this way. Here in Chicago it's about 8 bucks.
