Can I drink 2 month old opened wine? Generally no, you should not drink 2 month old opened wine as it will be oxidized and taste bad and may cause stomach upset, with opened wine lasting 3 to 5 days for red and white in fridge, and up to 2 to 3 weeks for fortified wine like port, but 2 months opened wine is likely spoiled and not safe to drink for quality. Opened wine exposed to air oxidizes, turning into vinegar, losing flavor, with bacteria growth possible, with red wine lasting 3 to 5 days after opening if corked and refrigerated, white wine 3 to 5 days refrigerated, sparkling 1 to 3 days, fortified wine like sherry and port 2 to 3 weeks, but 2 months is too long, wine will be flat, sour, and possibly harmful with vinegar bacteria. So can you drink 2 month old opened wine? You can technically drink it but not recommended, as it will taste bad like vinegar and may cause nausea, with no alcohol benefit, with risk of bacterial contamination low but quality poor, so should discard 2 month old opened wine, with exception of fortified wine which may last longer but still 2 months likely too long, with best to smell and taste small sip, if sour or off, discard, with wine preservation systems like vacuum pump extending to 1 week but not 2 months, so 2 month opened wine should not be consumed.
