If you are producing the wine from fresh grapes, some decisions you make will affect the lifetime of the wine. Red wines get their color and tannin from the grape skins, on which the wine ferments for the first few days to a few weeks. More tannic wines are astringent and somewhat difficult to drink when young. But they are longer-lived, and produce more complex wines after aging. This adds to the complexity, aging potential, and expense of the wine.
White wines are generally shorter- lived than red wines.
However, a typical white made from fresh grapes should last for up to 5 years or so. Fruit wines reach there peak after about 1 year and slowly lose their fresh fruitiness thereafter. There are no boundaries. Wine grapes are naturally superior for winemaking due to their balance of water, sugar, and acids. But nearly every fruit, given a little help by the winemaker, can make great wine.
