BREAKING DOWN 'Initial Public Offering-IPO'. IPOs can be a risky investment. For the individual investor, it is tough to predict what the stock will do on its initial day of trading and in the near future because there is often little historical data with which to analyze the company.
Sherry is an enriched wine, which increases its longevity. Still, once opened, the flavor quickly dissipates. An unopened bottle of sherry stored in a dark, cool place will stay fresh for 12 months. Once opened, cork the bottle tightly and store it in the refrigerator for one to three weeks, but no longer than a month.
Unopened Wine. Unopened wine should not be refrigerated in a standard kitchen refrigerator, which is too cold for long-term wine storage. Unopened wine should be stored on its side in a cool, dry place or in a special wine refrigerator. Opened White Wine. Opened white wine is best kept in the refrigerator. It should be recorked, preferably with a device that removes excess air from the bottle, and placed in the refrigerator. Though the flavor will start to deteriorate slightly after only one or two days, white wines usually remain drinkable for up to six days.
