When air stays in contact with the wine it oxidizes and the taste changes rather unpleasantly. Wine Vacuum Pumps allows you pump the air out therefore more preserving the original taste. I will drink half a bottle one night and the rest another.

I wouldn't refrigerate red either but if possible I would try to keep it out of a warm kitchen, possibly keep it in a cool basement.
