It depends on how old the wine is. For me, if the wine is just starting to turn, it actually hits me harder than if it was "new". It doesn't make me sick or feel horrible, and it feels a bit more like a rum-tipsy feeling than a wine-tipsy feeling.

After it's gone really bad, just the taste of it will make you sick (because it's grape vinegar.. Blah) and if you can put up with that, chances are you'll end up with a very bad hangover-like feeling the next morning and/or you'll end up vomiting a lot not long after drinking.

If it smells like vinegar and has a deep tint (brown for reds, yellow/tan for whites) then it's turned and you should not drink it. Also, if it smells moldy or if it looks like there's something floating in it, don't drink it (obviously thats mold and it will make you very sick).

Last but not least, if it suddenly tastes super bubbly, toss it! It's beginning to re-ferment and that will jack your system up. Seriously.

Not necessarily.

"Well, considering alcohol is bad to drink anytime, yes, it is bad to drink when you are sick."

That was an earlier answer to this question. However, it grossly oversimplifies things, and shows a profound lack of research.

A simple Google search will show a pattern of the general public believing heavily that alcohol is in all forms bad for your health, but experts saying quite otherwise.

Alcohol in moderation has been shown to have MANY health benefits over the long term, but it also naturally suppresses the immune system in the short term.

Red wine's exceptional health benefits, however, have led some experts to believe it can be actually beneficial to take even during sickness.

So, short answer:

No, but keep it reasonable.

Once opened, the alcohol can start evaporating and it will start losing flavor after a while, possibly going bad.

It depends on the wine, how old it is, under what conditions it is stored. If properly stored it can last a very long time to be enjoyed. Otherwise you can wind up with bad vinegar or something else unpleasant.

Wine can surely get you drunk if it still contains alcohol. If by going bad, you mean the alcohol has been boiled off, then no -- it won't get you drunk but might make you sick.

What types of accessories does one need when consuming wine?

Technically all one needs is a bottle opener. But if drinking out of the bottle is not your style, a glass is always good. Wine glasses are specifically designed to help wine open up and stay the correct tempurature. Make sure to hold the glass from the stem. If you want to get fancy, an Vinturi wine aerator is a simple piece of equipment that you pour the wine through which helps the wine open up which increases the taste.
