White wine and ageing

[winoweenie]

Hi K76 and welcome to the board. To answer your question succintly, the whites you're asking about are vinified to drink on release. Only top end whites have the penchant for ageing. Also, ALL reds are made in the same manner...to be drank within 2-3 years of vintage. The majority of wine drinkers buy on Tuesday to drink Tuesday nite as they don't have the facilities to PROPERLY age wines. WW
