❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Wine Aging
Find answers to common wine questions.
Do all wines improve with age?
►
No. Most wines (90%+) are meant to drink young within 1-3 years. Only premium wines with good tannin/acid structure improve with age. Budget wines get worse with age.
How should I store wine?
►
Store bottles horizontally at 45-65°F in dark, cool place. Avoid temperature fluctuations and light exposure. Humidity 50-80% prevents cork drying. Sparkling wines store upright.
What are wine tannins?
►
Tannins are compounds in grape skins/stems that give wine structure and bitterness. High-tannin wines age better. They soften with time, making old wine smoother and more complex.
