Opened port and sherry can last for several weeks to months, depending on the type and storage conditions. Generally, ruby and vintage ports maintain their quality for about 1-2 weeks after opening, while tawny ports can last for a few months. Sherry, particularly the drier styles like Fino and Manzanilla, is best consumed within a few weeks, while richer types like Oloroso can last for several months. To maximize shelf life, store them upright in a cool, dark place and ensure the bottles are tightly sealed.
