For us, anything under 25% ABV goes in the fridge after opening.

Nah it already didn't taste as good after opening. I have no idea how long it'd been sitting on the shelf at the liquor store, the packaging was the original design though, with a cork, the newer ones just have a screw cap. No idea when they stopped using the cork.

Okay, so that does suggest a cork problem. The reason that wine racks exist is to keep the wine in constant contact with the cork when in storage. When that doesn't occur the cork can deteriorate and go off. Most retailers don't understand that when it comes to, for example, vermouths so they store and display them standing upright. And, as you say, there's no telling how long any bottle has been sitting on the shelf.

That is very sage advice. The trouble is you'd just fill your fridge with half bottles. I lost a half bottle of Beesou which saddened me, it sat on the bar shelf for a couple of months inbetween uses and had gone dark orange and bitty. Shame.

sorry to spam this but it's something that I've been thinking about for a while. So are we saying that my Lillet Blnc, Cynar, Noilly Prat etc etc at under 20% should all be in the fridge? I'm guessing the purists will say yes, but on a practical note between the family kitchen fridge and the bar fridge I just wouldn't have enough room for it all. The 3 I've just mentioned seem OK but how do you know if they've gone off? I haven't done a count but it could be 12 - 15 bottles of various things that would fall into this bracket.
