Every wine ages differently. There is no single optimum aging period,
but generally speaking, most home wine makers age their reds for a
year or more and their whites for three to six months.

A very well made red wine might need many years in the bottle before
it's at its best. Most whites wouldn't be very good after a few years
in the bottle. A very well made Riesling might be an exception to
that.
