00:00Wine is often seen as timeless, a liquid treasure that only gets better with age.
00:07But, can wine actually expire?
00:15Surprise! Not all wines improve with time. Many actually go bad.
00:21Only about 1% of wines are made to age for decades.
00:24The rest, they're meant to be in joy within 1-5 years.
00:37Wine can oxidize, spoil, and lose its flavor, just like juice.
00:45And let's not forget cork taint, a chemical defect that ruins millions of bottles every year.
00:51If it smells like wet cardboard or vinegar, it's probably gone bad.
01:01Proper aging needs perfect conditions, cool, dark, and stable temperatures.
01:06Storing wine in sunlight or near heat, fast-track to spoilage.
01:17Even ancient Romans store wine underground to preserve it.
01:21Don't be fooled by vintage dates. Age doesn't always mean quality.
01:33When oxygen meets wine, it starts to break down.
01:41Think of it like fruit juice. Fresh is best. Old turns funky.
01:46Professionals inspect the cork, color, and aroma before pouring.

01:59Store your wine at 10 to 15 degrees Celsius and store it on its side.
02:05Today, there are even apps that help track your wine's lifespan.
02:09Nothing sadder than saving a bottle for years, just to realize it's and drink it.
