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.
Fortified Wines: Fortified wines like vermouth, port, sherry, and madeira are basically just wine with an extra dose of alcohol, and like any bottle of wine, they should be stored in the fridge if you aren't going to finish them that day. Here they will last for about three weeks. They may not taste as good as the first go-around, but they are still great for cooking. Liqueurs: Similar to spirits, most liqueurs have enough alcohol content to last forever.. Liqueurs do have a high sugar content.
