How long White wine keeps

Only situations with a published figure are listed. A blank isn't “forever” — it means no reliable number is published for it.

Storage

• Store at: Cool, dry pantry unopened; refrigerate at 40°F (4°C) or below after opening
• Refrigerate after opening: Yes — refrigerate at 40°F (4°C) or below
• Tip: Dark, away from direct heat or sunlight.

How to tell if White wine has gone bad

• Sour or off smell
• Cloudiness, sediment, or curdling
• Fizzing in a still drink, or a swollen carton or can
• A bitter or 'off' first sip

These are the general spoilage signs for beverages — never taste something to test it. When in doubt, throw it out.
