About the best you could hope for now would be to mix it with some oil for a decent salad dressing.
In order for most wines to be able to age well, they must have tannins in them, which <i>mostly</i> come from the seeds and skins of the grape (and give the wine its red color). Therefore, as a general rule, red wines age better than whites (which are made without the skins - that's why they're colorless)
damn i was gonna correct them, but im too late...anyways i thought red vs white wine was purple vs green grapes... in fact i was almost positive... so are u saying that they are both teh same types of grapes just with and without skin? or purple grapes with skin and green grapes without skin?
