It depends of the tipe of wine.
Red normally last longer then white.If it is a red wine of good quality many years while a white generally last less something like 5 6 years beefore start to deteriorate a part some type of sweet wine like sauternes or tokay wich can last even century. If you buy something like a Bordeaux red it can last even 30 40 years but I would say that after 10 12 years it is good to drink.
By the way your cellar schould not be too cold.

These sound to be ideal conditions for your libations, so long as the cellar doesn't get to freezing temperatures. I'm curious about the average yearly temperature. A good 55 F would be ideal. These kind of conditions will keep your wine in great condition for many years.
If the bottles have real corks, they should be stored on the bias so the cork doesn't dry out. The new synthetic corks won't dry out the the cord tends to do over time.

so which you propose you open the bottle yet do no longer drink any of all of it? Assuming it particularly is what ya propose, there are a pair of distinctive solutions. it variety of feels as though white and pink wines have distinctive lifespans. I definitely have been waiting to drink a white approximately one week after beginning the bottle. For a pink i think of basically 4-5 days before it particularly starts off to tutor, some people who're extra matured wine drinkers may well be conscious, however the final joe possibly does no longer. That being mentioned, if the bottle is opened and not in any respect poured and recorked at present day it would desire to final longer. Air is the enemy here and if the the only touch comes from the dime length section on the superb of the bottle, it would desire to final as long as 7 days before turning. desire this permits.
