Wine is good for three or four days after its open, then it oxidizes and
gets an off taste. If there's a good wine store near you, see if they
have single serve bottles of wine, like ones that are sold on airlines.

There are thousands and thousands of recipes that work well with wine or
vinegar. Just google for them. Make whatever recipes appeal to you and
don't worry about if they include wine or vinegar.
