How do you store an opened bottle of wine used for cooking...not "cooking" wine bought at grocery store....and how long can you keep an opened bottle?

[proudlyfromNJ]

Store in the fridge. It won't last months if that's what you are asking. My store has little individual bottles you can buy.

 If it’s not cooking wine it won’t last long.It will turn to vinegar within a couple of weeks.

I just read that you can freeze wine in muffin tins!  Sounds like a plan!

Freezing wine is strange.  Put a good cork/stopper in the wine and lay it on its side in te fridge.  After one month, discard.

I drink it

I occasionally drink Snapple in the glass bottles.  I always save the bottles and reuse them for everything.  I pour leftover wine in them and store in the fridge. Many times, the wine fills the whole bottle and there is little air in there that causes the wine to go bad.

i also use these bottles to refill with water, soft drinks, tea, whatever I need to pack to go.

Do not reuse plastic bottles.  Only the glass ones can be cleaned and reused.

I use a gadget called an Air Cork.  It's a tube with a balloon on one end, and an inflater on the other end.   I put the uninflated balloon in the bottle of wine and pump air through the tube to inflate the balloon.  The balloon inflates to fill the area above the wine.  So far, it has effectively kept the wine tasty for about 2 months at the longest.  I bought it on Amazon for around $25.  The instructions state that the balloons are reusable about 80 times, and replacement balloons are $4.

I cork the wine I use for cooking and keep it in the dining room, on my wine station.  I've kept it for months without it ever going bad.

An open bottle of wine would not last long with me!
