Expiry date of white wines

[jamw198]

Will white wine get expired? How long can we keep them? I know we can keep red wines for a really long time. Is there any value for keeping white wines??

[wdonovan]

Generally, yes. Generally, a couple years. Generally, no. (All with exceptions of course)

All wines expire. Not all reds age nicely. As WD states, most whites don't age very well. The most common exceptions are those whites that are made sweet such as some Rieslings and Chenin Blancs from Germany, the U.S., and the Loire Valley of France. Semillion from Australia is another exception. There are specific white wines made by specific producers that age well, but they tend to be rare and expensive.
