Well yeah, even 24 hours later it picks up and oxidized flavor (port-like) and becomes a shadow of its former glory. So no, it’s not gonna get you sick, but you should definitely finish it the night you open it for maximum enjoyment.
Eight months before my grandfather passed, I bought a bottle of chateau Picard. I thought since he liked TNG and wine, he’d share it with me. Wasn’t to his liking. He told me to finish it fast. By the end of the week it tasted awful.
EDIT: There was sediment at the bottom of the bottle which formed.
Sediment isn’t an indicator of quality. It’s OK for even very fine wine to have some, they are usually tanins that crystallize. The only way to really tell wine quality is serving it.
My mom told me wine went bad and I legitimately thought once you opened it you had to finish the bottle

Wine does go bad. Vodka does not.
I mean, it does have a shelf life once opened.
that’s when you use it for cooking!
granted, I probably opened the bottle for cooking to begin with. I’m not very good at the whole alcoholic thing.

The flavor is noticeably worse after just a few hours
Good wine improves flavor in the first hour. And maintains for longer too.
