question about alcoholic drinks 

randomly wondering: why do people age wine for decades but beer only for a few weeks max?

re: question about alcoholic drinks 

@Felthry some beer ages for years, I think it strongly depends on the yeasts used

also "it is estimated that 90% of wine is meant to be consumed within a year of production, and 99% of wine within 5 years" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aging_of

@noiob huh, I guess the wine aging for decades thing is just a thing for ridiculously fancy wines for people to be snobbish about

re: question about alcoholic drinks 

@Felthry I think a lot of the wine that's for people to be snobbish about is also aged way too long, like look at these times

@noiob 50 years? surely it has to go at least a little bit off in that time, it can't just keep getting better and better

@Felthry it's probably pretty rare and not easy to make sth that actually still tastes good after 50 years
