Re: Aging Wine

Posted by deadhead714 on August 22, 2005 at 14:03:12:
The short answer is don't bother. Wines like the one you mentioned aren't made to aged. Laying them down in a dark, cool place (with little temp fluctuation), with no vibration for a few months may allow the wine to stabilize and taste slightly better before you drink up. Wines worthy of ageing gain complexity and are made to be aged. It's kinda like audio equipment. I wish I could be totally satisfied with a Tivoli and cheap CD player. Would have been a hell of a lot less expensive. Same thing goes for wine. If it's inexpensive and you get pleasure from it, then it's the right wine for you.
