Fact.

Yeah, stop dissing the Crabmeister tomato boy :angry:
Shut it you tard. I have many wine qualifications and work in the industry. I wasn't talking about expiration dates. I was asking whether her Champagne is vintage or non-vintage. High tannic wines such as those from Bordeaux (high tannin Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot) age well because of those tannins and the aging in oak. As they age the tannins mellow, the toasty oak changes into softer gentler oak and the fruit flavors fade and change. it might take donkeys years but eventually the fruit flavors will fade entirely and the wine become past it's best. So even long-aging wines have drink by dates on them, even if that date is 20, 30, 40 years in the future.Quote:

Other wines, such as Sauvignon Blanc are much better drunk young , literally within two years of the vintage being released. They have a zippy fresh acidity with fades with age.
So not all wines get better with age, some do, some don't. It depends on the style of wine and on the oak/tannin content.
Fuckwit.
