opinions will vary.
Quality is the key.
Personally, I've had too many disappointments when keeping a white wine, too long. Sauternes and vintage champagne aside, of course. Also, some dry semillon, will age beautifully for 10 yrs or more.For me, I love good quality whites (£8 to £20) at about 2/3 years old.
There are exceptions, but freshness and vitality are very important to a white wine.
