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.
1 The flavors of dry sherry complement everything from pork to chicken to shellfish. It's my go-to bottle when I need to make an impromptu pan sauce.  Unlike other white wines, sherry lasts a long time - Because sherry is fortified it lasts longer than an opened bottle of regular red or white wine. The drier styles keep for over a week in the fridge; I've kept manzanilla sherry for three weeks without too much noticeable drop in flavor.
