I actually dumped the bottle and just have two full glasses of red wine and I’ve been sipping them for the past 2 days. Taste seems to be okay, but is this normal? Should I just throw the wine out now?

I find its about 2 days for a bottle of wine. once opened it gets oxygen in it and starts the reactions that can make it taste bitter after 2 days.
if you like it, go for it. if it tastes bad, dump it out. its not going to go bad as in mold/dangerous. the alcohol stops that.
so if you still like it keep sipping. if not get rid of it.
No it should be fine. Most of the wines sold today from Mid price to lower end are made for the average person who might not drink the whole bottle in one day before it goes bad, and is made to last 3-5 days under refrigeration.
Many wines on the higher end, lack some of the processing and preservatives and are meant to be used after opening, once thieve been exposed to air.
assuming you’re not drinking a really nice bottle of red wine don’t worry about it. keep it until it tastes bad to you. a nice bottle of wine though…get a couple people together and down the bottle (because drinking the whole thing yourself you’ll stop enjoying it)…anyway it may seem nicer to save those wines and enjoy them over a couple weeks, but like people have said wine doesn’t keep a very long time (though 2 days is on the low end…5 days is fine for almost all wine), and so you don’t want to be dumping out a $90 bottle of red
