Most non-vintage champagne is pretty much ready for drinking now, as its a blend of multiple vintages, some older, some newer, designed to give a certain taste upon release. However, good vintage French stuff is often actually best after several years of careful cellaring. The really good stuff can take up to 20 years of age to get to its best. In terms of white wines, the most ageworthy are riesling (no, not the sweet cask rubbish from the 1970s!!!) and semillon. They will develop nicely for up to 10 years or thereabouts. They lose their acidity and get fuller flavour over time. Chardonnay is a mixed bag. Really good ones will age, but most don't as a general rule. So folks, if you have a good bottle of something, or have been given a good bottle as a gift etc but you don't have a cool and dark place to store it......drink it now and save the disappointment several years down the track. One decent Melbourne/Sydney summer is sufficient to kill most wines. PS. A good cellar will hold wines at a temp range of approx 12-16 degrees. Any colder and the wine ages too slowly. Any hotter, and it'll age too rapidly, and be damaged in the process. Brent. |

Bah, $10 goon bag does the same thing. Though, i'll show my boss this one because him and my other work mates are all old men who like wine.

A damaged cork will let oxygen in and will destroy a wine. Especially one that old. That is why screw caps are the go.
Good info there Brent.
