Air is the enemy of wine. That half bottle of Mouton Cadet left over after dinner will do best if tightly capped and stored in a cool dark place. No need to refrigerate. Most good wine stores will sell fancy stoppers , some that will even pump the air out of the bottle after re-capping but if you drink wine daily, all you really need is a good clean cork.

A good quality wine will last about a week at temperatures under 60F and out of the light. But think about it, would you really want to leave that "good" bottle of wine alone for that long?
