So we know that spirits such as whiskey and vodka will essentially never go bad, even once opened. From what I’ve read on Google, most wines even unopened are only good for maybe a couple years. And yet you can also buy bottles from like the 70s and even before that are apparently perfectly fine to drink so which is it, is wine like other alcohols that can be kept for years or even decades or is it something meant to be consumed within a fairly short amount of time?

Depending on the grape variety, terrois (type of ground it is grown in), production method and importantly the weather conditions during the ripening period the finished wine will have different levels of acidity and alcohol . The correct combination can be kept stable for decades, the wrong combination will spoil quickly.
