The best wine that goes well with pasta is Pinot Noir.

Other good wines that go well with pasta include.

Riesling.
Merlot.
Cabernet Sauvignon.
Zinfandel.

A box of wine does go bad and a box of wine or boxed wine usually goes bad quicker than bottled wine.

Boxed wine is not made or meant for aging so it goes bad quicker than the bottled wine does.

If you take a close look at a boxed wine, you'll most likely see a “best-by” date, probably stamped on the bottom or side of the box.

This expiration date is typically within a year or so from the time the wine was packaged.

Wine does go bad in the heat so you should keep the wine out of the heat or a hot car or it can change the taste and make the wine taste bad.

When left in the heat or a hot car, the temperature of your wine will be on the rise and when wine gets hot, the liquid will expand – and there is only one direction for that liquid to go.

Another sign of heat damage is a hot sticky substance on the outside of the cork – wine that has seeped past the cork.

Unopened wine can lasts basically forever but the unopened wine is usually only good for consumption for up to 5 years.

The wine is still safe after that time but it does not usually taste as good after a certain period of time.

If a wine cork leaks it could cause the wine to change in flavor because of the introduction of oxygen into the bottle of wine.

However sometimes the wine cork leaking does not change the flavor of the wine.

If the wine cork lets more oxygen in, the flavors of the wine might take on a nutty, oxidized note.

If it was extreme temperatures, the wine might taste stewed, or tired.

The reason wine goes bad is because when opened powerful chemical changes start to occur in the wine.

Oxygen rushes in and sulfur dioxide, which is added to nearly all wines as a preservative, dissolves into the air.

Once opened the wine goes bad within 5 days.

Unopened wine is usually able to last forever basically but it loses it's taste the longer it is left unconsumed.

Most ready-to-drink wines are at their best quality within 3 to 5 years of production, although they will stay safe indefinitely if properly stored; fine wines can retain their quality for many decades.

The best way to enjoy your wine fresh is to drink it shortly after you purchase it.

However, you can still enjoy unopened wine about 1–5 years after the expiration date, while leftover wine can be enjoyed 1–5 days after it has been opened, depending on the type of wine.

You can drink old opened wine although it won't taste very good.

The old opened wine won't make you sick but it will taste terrible and it's best to avoid drinking the old opened wine.

Opened wine does eventually go bad.

Once open the opened bottle of wine will last for about 5 days before it goes bad and tastes bad.

After opening wine the wine lasts for about 5 days.

Most wines last open for only about 3–5 days before they start to go bad.

Of course, this greatly depends on the type of wine!

Don't worry though, “spoiled” wine is essentially just vinegar, so it's not going to harm you.

In general, wine lasts one to five days after being opened.

It's true, the primary reason wines go bad is oxidation.

Too much exposure to oxygen essentially turns wine into vinegar over time.

So if you don't plan to finish a bottle, cork it and stick it in the fridge to help preserve it.

Drinking an already-opened bottle of wine will not make you sick.

Pouring yourself a glass from a bottle that's been open for longer than a week may leave you with an unpleasant taste in your mouth.

To give open wine bottles a longer life you should put both red and white wines in the fridge.

And just as with beer, it's perfectly fine to move your vino out of the fridge for a bit and put it back once you have more room, as long as you don't do it with the same bottle too many times.

Temperature extremes are what destroy a wine, and for that matter beer, too, not moving it in and out of a fridge.

Signs that your wine has gone off or has gone bad are.

The smell is off.
The red wine tastes sweet.
The cork is pushed out slightly from the bottle.
The wine is a brownish color.
You detect astringent or chemically flavors.
It tastes fizzy, but it's not a sparkling wine.
