Why is aged red wine expensive?

Not all red wines are more expensive as they age. It is also a common misunderstanding that all red wines are better as they age.

In fact, the best drinking time of more than 90% wines in the world is within 1 year after production, and only less than 1% wines have to be aged for more than 5 years. The quality of wine changes with time, and some of them are as long as possible (for example, the top wines in Bordeaux can reach the drinking period of several decades in Chenfang under good aging conditions, but there is also a time limit. No matter how good the wine is, it will start to decline after the best drinking period, but most of them are not.

For ordinary wine with low price and ordinary wine quality, the longer it is stored, the worse the wine quality will be, which is only suitable for early drinking.
