Aging Wine Properly

Ever wonder if that bottle of wine you bought should be opened tonight or best left to age for a couple of years? This chart gives you some general guidelines.

All wines are best stored at 55°F, which is the ideal temperature for aging.

Also keep in mind that "high-quality" wines, wines made from "good years", and wine with high sulfites (natural preservatives found on all grapes) all tend to last much longer than wines that are just the opposite.
