Hi Liam,

First .. welcome to the great journey of discovering wine .. something
that can last a lifetime.

You didn't mention the vintage of the wines .. nor their stature ..
Grand Cru as opposed to vin de pays.

Betsy and I seem to continually have 2-3 bottles of reds open on the
counter at any given time. These are young wines ... often what we
call "quaffers" and candidly for a 2-3 day period it works just fine
for us.

Now .. if you are talking about better and/or older wines ... or where
you want to be able retaste a young wine in a day or two to truly see
if your notes earlier in the week were the same. Then ... Dale is
right on about the 1/2 bottles.

Great excuse to go buy a couple of inexpensive dessert wines in 1/2
bottle format.
