What is "age?

Ageing is an important process in winemaking, where wine is stored for a period of time in order to allow it to develop more complex and nuanced flavors and aromas. During the ageing process, the wine is typically stored in barrels made from oak or other types of wood, which can impart additional flavors and aromas to the wine. Ageing can also take place in the bottle, where the wine is left to mature for several years or even decades. The ageing process can greatly affect the quality and taste of the wine, with some wines becoming more complex and refined with age, while others may lose their flavor and freshness over time. Ageing is often associated with premium wines, which are typically aged for longer periods of time and are often more expensive as a result. Overall, ageing is an important part of the winemaking process, and can greatly enhance the quality and character of the wine.
