Best Answer

Red wine can be kept for many years if the bottles are placed in a cool dark place. However, very few wines improve with age. Those that do are generally unpleasant to drink until they are aged.

How long is beer good for?

There are some simple rules but they are not universal and depend on storage vessel and conditions. Beer can keep for several months but a few weeks is more normal, and years is a rare thing. Certain red wines and most sweet wines (especially whites) will keep and improve for many decades, even centuries. Fortified wines similarly. Most common, cheap white and red wines will deteriorate after a year or two, some long before that. Cost itself is not a good indicator - I have drunk very cheap sweet wines and reds 2-3-4+ years old and they have been fantastic compared to when young. But they are exceptions.
