Quesitons about sweet wines.

[aprilh070203]

Okay, so I had an exceptionally good day at work today (being a waitress, that equals more money for me) and decided to stop off and try something new. This time the store owner was actually there, and I told him that I wanted something exceptionally sweet. (I do think you all for your recomendations, but I have tried a Spatlese and a Reisling once before, both brought from Germany by my parent-in-laws, and didn't care for them, and I wasn't ready to try another zinfandel yet.) So he took me straight to a bottle of Moscato D'Asti I think it is. So I brought it home, popped the cork, which my husband always says is bad to do, and tried it. And it's wonderful. I was planning on going out with the girls tonight, but I might just stay home with this and a good book.

To make a long story short, since this is carbonated (I'm not sure if it's classified as Champagne or Sparkling Wine. For some reason, I'm having trouble grasping the difference other than where they come from.), so does that mean that it won't be good for more than a day or two? Or is it something that I can store in the fridge and drink a little more in another week?

Thank you all again. You guys are a great help.
