Best Answer

Wine once opened has to fight spoilage promoted by oxygen. Refrigerating the wine helps to keep bacteria from spoiling the wine. Over a short period of time this bacteria will turn the wine to vinegar. However, keeping wine in the fridge will not save it forever just a few more days. Before drinking the red wine just take bottle out of fridge about twenty min before drinking.

Should people use a wine rack or wine refridgerator to store red wine?

For storing red wine, the optimal temperature is 50 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit - not room temperature. So you should store your red wine varieties in a wine cellar or wine refrigerator at that temperature. What is most important is the temperature that the red wine is stored at. Red Wine should be stored at 50-55ºF so it can be stored in a wine rack located in an area kept at this temperature or a wine cellar/cooler or wine refrigerator kept at this temperature.
