Most of us lead busy, work-filled lives, often clocking in a 9-to-5 five days a week. And when that clock signifies the hour to leave, the last thing on anyone's mind is: "Time to go to the grocery store to pick up more fresh produce!"

However, it turns out that red and white wines have different life spans once they're opened—for reasons which we'll cover below.
