- chefgeoff02 - 11-16-2000 How do you tell if a wine is old (besides looking at the label)? What components of wines are affected most with aging? Thank you very much to anyone who answers. - Innkeeper - 11-16-2000 Old white wine darkens and turns brown. Old red wine lightens and turns brown. Both caused by oxidation. The alcohol turns into vinegar. |
