Get a half bottle or quarter bottles and pour the remainder into one til it's full and then stopper it. The point is to get as much O2 out as you can.

Might I suggest getting a 375 (lots available) and a 187 ("airline bottle", probably some cheapies available), drinking them, then rinsing the bottles? When you open your next 750, immediately gently funnel half (actually slightly more) into the 375, then fill the 187. Stopper both and put in fridge. It will help a little by reducing the amount of surface contact with air. Dale

Strength in numbers! Although I seem to never follow my own advice. . . I drink the whole damn thing!
I saw this product in a wine store: plastic disks that are the same diameter of the inside of a wine bottle which are rolled up and inserted in the opened bottle. The disk floats on the surface of the wine and acts to limit air contact with the wine. Good idea/product? Maybe ...
Personally, I store red wine on my person, in my stomach.
Despite almost a lifetime of practice, however, I must admit that I have been unable to extend this storage method to several days.
In fact several hours is the usual 'shelf' life.....
