ok, my missus reckons its fine to pour the glass of red wine, left out since last night, back into the bottle in the morning. I shreik in horror, but to be honest, bottle tastes alright the next night. question for people in the know (and who care enough to answer)....is wine left in an open glass overnight spoiled? and will it spoil the rest of the bottle if poured back in? how quick? thanks :)

The wine left in the open glass will have oxidised and will be spoilt.It might also have some fruit flies in it.Throw it away.

Yuck!I suppose if your wife thinks it is fine, let her have the glass from last night and pour yourself a fresh glass from the bottle.Just the thought of it would put me off - life is too short to drink bad wine!

You can pour the left over wine into ice cube trays or a small pottle and freeze and use to cook with. Don't pour it back in the bottle.

I ice cube all our left overs too, very handy for cooking later on when a recipe calls for a small amount.

It must be bloody expensive wine if she feels the need to recycle it!Tell her to stop being so tight.
