We do not drink anything with alcohol in it. However, once in a great
while we fix a recipe that calls for wine in the marinade or in the
cooking. Either way the alcohol is cooked out of it. We have two or
three part bottles of different kinds of wine that have been in our
cupboard for months or even years and they work just as well as they
did the day each one was opened. So what is the fuss about using a
bottle up within a short time?

Chuck, what you have in the cupboard is either wine vinegar
or just spoiled wine. It may be acceptable to you in a
marinade or as part of a cooked recipe but it's taste would
be sour and very "off" for drinking.

After sending that, it occurred to me that you may have
"fortified" or dessert wines, such as madeira, sherry, port
or similar. In that case they will keep for a considerable
time. They will also have very high sugar levels.
