The timeframe for consumable alcoholic beverages to degrade varies significantly based on production methods, storage conditions, and ingredients. While it may not become unsafe to drink, the intended flavor profile can diminish considerably over time, resulting in a less desirable product.
Understanding beverage shelf life is important for both consumers and producers. Proper storage can extend the period in which the beverage maintains its intended taste. Furthermore, knowledge of degradation timelines helps to minimize waste and ensure product quality.
