Too warm? Twenty minutes in the fridge brings a red down to cellar temperature.
Air
Open young, tannic reds an hour before dinner, or pour them into a decanter. Old reds need only a few minutes, and gentle handling.
Keeping an open bottle
Reseal it and keep it in the fridge: two to three days for whites and rosé, three to five for reds.
