I'm a wine noob and have some basic stupid questions.
>does wine "go bad" after opening? what about fortified wines?
>do port or sherry need to be decantered?
>are stemless wine glasses a meme?
>does it matter if wine is stored upright vs laying?

It can go bad, but wine that has gone bad is vinegar.
Yes
Yes
No
No
No
>yes, it should be consumed that day, or within 2-3 days at most, though removing the air and storing it in the fridge will help, and higher alcohol wines will lose quality at a slower rate
>not usually
>no, but they're dumb for white wine because the heat from your hand will bring down the temperature
>only if using a natural cork and storing it long term, as the cork will dry out and crumble otherwise, but that's part of the reason to decant
>>7765588
>Generally, they're best for getting drunk in front of your computer.

Ralfy mostly talks about Whisky but he also sometimes talks about other alcoholic beverages and gives lots of tips.

>does it matter if wine is stored upright vs laying?
Apparently, If stored horizontally, more liquid will be exposed to oxygen which will speed up oxidation.

Don't be such a pussy about wine. Just drink that shit. Carmenere, Malbec, and Rhone blends are top tier btw. Fuck Bordeaux.
