when cork is kept open wine will be exposed to oxygen in air

oxygen oxidises wine this leads to sour flavour
and bacteria in air can convert alcohol(ethanol) into vinegar

Because wine contains ethanol and some oxygen dissolved in it from the air. over time, the oxygen reacts with ethanol and converts it to ethanoic acid. this chemical reaction happens more quickly if the wine bottle is left uncorked
