wine shelf life

[markd]

hello there

can someone tell me how long a bottle of red or white will last from the date year on the label. I live in jakarta and there are occassions when i'm looking at off the shelf Jacob's Creek etc with dates going back three to four years.
Please help, it's extremely thirsty work out here!

Hi ther Markd and welcome to the board. I would think any white that's over 4 years from its' vintage date and any red that's 6 would be suspect. WW
