Maybe the wine helped my heart. I think it was a 1974 Beaulieu Vineyards Cabernet Savignon. Futures is mostly for red wine. When wine is first released, it's possible to buy it in what they call futures before it's released for sale. You try to buy it when it first comes out rather than waiting a few years because it will be too expensive then.
Wine requires aging.
It may take something like three to 20 years. You have to read up on the literature in the field to find out which are the good wines. Some take 15 to 20 years to age. You don't want to let it age too long as it may become weak. Well, not weak, what I mean is tired, flat, plummy.
