Red wines can generally last longer than whites and red wine with more tannic acid can last longer than those with lower levels. Those stored properly in a cool dark apace with proper humidity can last longer than those stored in less than ideal conditions.

Wine can keep for many, many years, but some wines don't last that long.

Check with your local wine-seller if your particular brand and grape variety ought to be drunk 'young'.

It totally depends on what wine it is. Some, like a Beaujolais Nouveau, should be consumed within months of bottling. Others, like some Bordeaux wines, Ports, or Sauternes, can be enjoyed 50 or 100 years later.

Also, to keep a bottle long term, good storage conditions are necessary. A dark, vibration-free, somewhat humid (70%), and cool (55 to 57F) environment is ideal.

As long as is stored in a cool dark area it will keep indefinitely.
