    About 15 minutes with my friends. Really once opened you should drink it. If you want to keep it then cook with it. You can only keep wine that has been opened for about 3 days before it starts to loose its flavor.

    Always, and I really do mean ALWAYS, use a tool which corks the bottle as well as sucks out the air. At least you get a few more days with that, but I wouldn't consume the wine you are asking about.

    I would not drink opened wine if it wasn't corked right away the next day.

    If it was corked maybe couple of days at best.

    Not long, but you can always keep it and use it as red wine vinegar for cooking :P
