Noilly Prat white vermouth is my go-to solvent for martinis and cooking. I keep it near the olive oil, and have never put it in the fridge.

We have a bottle of Carpano, fancy red vermouth, and don't keep it in the fridge either...only once had to toss it due to critters in it. Seems to taste just fine. Next bottle will go in the fridge, though. Sounds like it will taste even better!
