I used cheap sherry that was intended for drinking (not "cooking wine"),
but still was only a couple dollars a bottle.
I don't know how long it will keep: I've been using and replenishing
regularly.  The oldest piece in the jar has probably been there a
year, maybe eighteen months.  Except that the older pieces are a
little darker in color, and smell more of wine, there doesn't
seem to be any adverse effect of leaving them there.
By the way, it's not in the fridge, just on a shelf in the kitchen.

(The garlic in vinegar *is* in the fridge.)
