HOW LONG SHOULD I STORE MY WINE?
While most wines today are meant to be drunk "young" (within a few years of
production) some fine wines are best served by proper aging. But aging too
long can decrease the flavor of the wine. Generally speaking, red wines can age
longer than white wines, but here is a storage guide for some popular vintages.
