Why does wine need to age? Can it age theoretically forever?
In: Chemistry
Also pretty much every single white wine that is produced other than certain types from world class producers and regions is meant to be drank now or soon. Typical white wines don’t age well.
Also even though you didn’t ask I will add that wine, unlike other things like scotch or whiskey or any other high alcohol beverage, can age in the bottle. Whereas as a bottle of scotch doesn’t. So if you buy a scotch that says 12 years old on the bottle and you don’t open it for 10 years you don’t have a 22 year old scotch. You still have a 12 year old scotch as scotch is aged in barrels before it’s bottled. It doesn’t age in the bottle like wine does.
