Couple general notes: While older whiskey is considered a nicer product, it won’t develop in a bottle. Opened booze will also go bad, and while you can keep an open bottle of hard stuff for quite a while, alcohol will evaporate and the flavor will deteriorate. Open wine will also turn sour fairly quick and wine bottles (closed ones) won’t keep forever. Sparking wine in particular spoils fairly quickly and you shouldn’t keep it around for too long.

€dit: Don’t drink that bottle of wine of the year you were born once you turn 18/21, keep it as a keepsake.
