Question
Wine was left uncovered, after how long does it become prohibited due to exposure?
Answer
One hour. Ideally, if there was complete exposure even for a moment, it is not appropriate to use it for Kiddush.
Source
Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim, Siman 204, where there are two aspects: 1. The law of uncovered beverages, which nowadays is not strictly observed, but for Kiddush, it should ideally be observed. 2. If it was uncovered for a long time until its taste was spoiled, it should not be used for Kiddush at all.
