how long does white wine last?

[Jason Atkinson]

How long does a Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon
last after opened before it goes bad:
(a) if re-corked but unrefridgerated?
(b) if re-corded and refridgerated?

We get big bottles, and I've not found red
wine to get bad for days unrefridgerated
and for weeks refridgerated, but my wife
thinks I'm asking for trouble....
