Aging wine in bottles

[ArgentRhapsody]

Wouldn't it be nice if wine steadily increased in quality and maybe even gained new benefits when stored in bottles and aged on a rack in a cellar/cave?

as it stands bottles are just an aesthetic choice for storing your wine, and have no benefits whatsoever aside from acting as a symbel. It just feels like an incomplete/half-implemented feature. It just seems like there SHOULD be some sort of benefit and purpose for going that extra step.

Said this somewhere else, so I thought I may as well just write it down on this forum.

Wine is suffering

Only if once wine q goes above initial cork q, the cork breaks resulting in air coming in and spoiling your wine

Aged wine could satiate different foodgroups. Store in a bottle to prevent barrel aging.

If I were happier with how drinks work generally, that would be cool.

I like the idea of aging wine.

Could be as simple as the quality growing over time.
Maybe different light conditions (outside, cellar, inside) could make it faster or not happen at all.

How about for the time being add white wine and white grapes and white wine buffs mushrooms.

Just a note about that:
white wine actually comes from the same grapes as red wine (almost always Vitis vinifera) and the only difference is that during a process called maceration - which is basically during the pressing and part of the fermentation (but that varies a lot from wine to wine) - it can happen with or without the grape skins. The substances that give the color to red wine are present on the skin so when the maceration is allowed to occur for enough time with the skins you'll have red wine while vinification done without the skins (only the pulp) will give you white wines.

So no, you don't really need white grapes to make white wine. White grapes are just a mutation of purple grapes and were not really common until modern times.
