Can the wine stay as long as possible?

Wine, like humans, undergoes growth, maturation and aging. When the grapes are still in the tree, it is the growth phase of the wine, which is like the stage of the human body. The time required for this stage is that it takes 4 to 5 years from the time the seedlings are planted to grow fruit that can be brewed. It takes 10 years to grow fruit that can produce good wine, and it takes 10 fruits to grow fine wine. ~ 20 years.

After a series of wine making processes such as juicing and aging of oak barrels, the quality of the wine will be enhanced by the winemaker, which is like the human student stage. Then bottling, this time the wine will enter a dormant period, need to have a suitable storage environment, after the aging will have a second improvement in quality, this is like going from school to social maturity. After the wine has matured, its excellent quality will continue to be released for a period of time (this is the best drinking period of wine), and finally enters the aging period. The time required for this process will vary according to the aging of the wine, and the tannin structure of the wine is the main factor. Wine entering the aging period does not mean that it cannot be changed. It is only that this wine has lost its original style and become a mediocre liquid. No one wants to pour it into the mouth. Therefore, to give the wine a shelf life, it is better to give the wine a drinkable period.

The average wine drink period is 5 to 10 years. Good wines need to be stored for 8 to 10 years to have mature charm, so the storage time is longer. Only a few excellent wines can be stored for decades when properly stored. So, want to buy a box of wine in the supermarket and wait for 10 years to sell a good price. Don't be foolish. Ten years later it is as old as your grandma.
