I try not to be a wine snob, but I must say that opening a bottle of ANY wine and expecting it to be drinkable a month later is ridiculous. (Port, sherry, madeira, and other sweet fortified wines are the only exceptions.)

Wine is destroyed by exposure to oxygen, and I have seldom tasted an opened bottle that was worth drinking even a week later.
