Would anyone have an idea of the lifetime of a Wine Experts Selection International Australian Chardonnay and Chilean Pinot Noir?
Assume twin disc corks, added potassium bisulfate, and ideal storage conditions, I'm just curious of the wine's lifetime. I know for these it takes about 1 year for them to mature, I just don't want to wait 3 years and have vinegar.
Thanks!

I have had a few of these made as is with decent corks (not as good as twin discs) last about 3 years. I now add 3 lbs of sugar to them in primary which bumps the abv up to around 10% which doesnt effect taste much at all but makes these kits keep much better n the wine shelves and not be so wimpy.

I also do the same as Wade.
