white wine is not so good preservationwise.
Most white wines will only keep for 3-4 years
exceptionally you have some that will remain drinkable for 10 years; but on the whole I wouldn't advise keeping Champagne for over 5 years

I've drunk vintage Krug that was over 40 years old and it tasted o.k. but was fairly flat. A good champagne kept in a cellar or traditional cool larder will start deteriorating after 10 - 12 years and half that for something kept elsewhere. Always store the bottle on its side and gently turn occasionally to stop any part of the cork from drying out. If you've just brought a bottle home make sure the sediment in the bottom of the bottle has thoroughly settled before opening.

In ideal cellar conditions (around 50F), some fine Champagnes will keep for twenty or thirty years or more.
If you do not have the luxury of a cellar, however, the best place to store it is somewhere in the dark that has a constant temperature, as cool as possible. Otherwise keeping is very limited, Champagne for two years for a non-vintage, and from three years for a vintage.

depends on if it has a plastic sealer or a proper wire enclosed cork. If it has a proper cork then try not to keep it much more than 10 years if it is something like Moet, because the cork will affect the taste and it will gradually release some of the compressed gas contained in the wine. once the wine is opened the compressed gas creates the bubbles. the les in in the flatter the champagne.
If it is a bottle with a plastic sealer then it must be fairly cheap and not worth keeping for a long time anyway

If you keep it cool (cellar it), keep it in an area where it doesn't get too dry (so the cork does not dry out) and keep it away from sunlight, it can last many years. People drink 40+ year old bottles of champagne.

it would not count number about the time-honored, despite the indisputable fact that the classic it got here from, and the way it really is been saved. If upright, then you are surely on a sticky wicket. despite the indisputable fact that, if saved surprising, then you could be in with a shout. If the bottle as you say is 15 years previous and is a classic bottling then you could be searching at perhaps an 88/89. if it truly is the case then you may be in success, because the perfect 3 years of the last decade (88 - ninety) were all declared and extremely noticeably ordinary. the following is hoping and strong success
