Why are old wine desireble but other alcoholic beverages have a best before date?
In: 40
Old wine could be expensive because it’s a rare collectors item and might not be drinkable anymore. It could be expensive because it had to age in barrels for many years, which represents storage space and delayed reimbursement for the cost of production, which a business needs to pay for.
And not all wine gets better with age, some is meant to be drank fairly soon. As far as I’m aware, all types will eventually turn into vinegar.
Lots of other alcohol will never go bad and really don’t have a best before. Vodka would keep basically forever.
