Dear Wine Wizard, Can Lambrusco wine be refrigerated for several months and then safely kept on a wine rack? What is the expiration time frame for this wine? Jeanne Considine Boulder, Colorado Wine Wizard replies: Hmmm . . . Lambrusco is not one of those wines typically made to age for decades and decades, which
