Speaking of wine, which one is your favorite?

It is generally NOT further fermentation of the wine. That would mean that the alcohol content of the wine increases with age. This doesn't happen as the fermentation process is most commonly deliberately quenched before the wine is set to age.
It depends on the wine. Some wines are meant to be drunk immediately, and others are intended to be kept to age and mature. An important part of the aging process is the precipitation out of the tannins (which leads to the 'sludge' often found in older bottles). This removes a lot of the bitterness and 'bite' from the wine, leaving a more subtle, complex flavour.
My favourite wine?
Chateau Musar 1991 or Chateau Lafitte 1945

Wine has an intrinsic mechanism, like women, to taste and look better with the time..Fermentation process is responsible for wine to taste better.Fermentation does not happen overnight it is a slow process in which acid and gas produces by the help of microbes. Grapes quality is also one of the main factors for the quality wine.There is one brand from India MOHAN'S, in my opinion it is the best wine I ever tasted. Unfortunately this Indian brand is not available outside India.Mohan's distillary is a 190 years old company in the same business for decades.Relatively is a small company and family owned.

As wine ages the tannins mellow and the flavours mature. Tannins are the component that pucker your mouth, also present in brewed teas. Not all wines cellar well, a wine with a smooth mouth feel has insufficient tannins to age, but is at its peak now.
The classic wine for the long haul is red Bordeaux and Burgundy, but barolos and barbarescos from Italy are cheaper at the high end of quality and have just as much ageing potential. Another relatively inexpensive option is vintage port — but avoid "late-bottled vintage" wines (marked LBV), which are ready to drink now and won't benefit from ageing. For an unorthodox and low-priced choice, consider Australian shiraz-cabernet blends for your cellar.
I can't name a favourite wine as I haven't try them all yet. And wine is a chameleon, your impressions of it can change depending on mood, food and companionship.

Assuming you are refering to red.
Less tannic and more balance.
Also, the romantic aspect of experiencing something that was captured in a time capsule by people who may have long passed or was produced during historical period such as a 1945 Chateau lafite bottled as the american were liberating France from the Nazi's. 9/11, 2001 was the harvesting season for most winery.....
You are experiencing history. Not just a glass of wine.

I don't know. I don't drink wine. I think it would be like any other food or drink though, it sits too long, it's gonna go bad. But whoever invented wine is a genius to figure out that it tastes better the longer it sits.

Not all wines are better with age - it's best to find out whether you should consume immediately, or let the flavour mature. With that in mind, wine needs to be stored properly at the correct temperature, and in the correct position (corks need to be kept moistened).
My favourite wines are a nice Shiraz (try The Naked Grape), or a mildly oaky Chardonnay. Although nothing beats a kir - a dry white wine with 1 oz of creme de cassis mixed in!

Black star farms Ice wine is my fav...
but that cost why too much!
so a semi-dry sweet white wine!
the aging process is just a fermintation of the wine!
like if you slow cook something it taste better then throwing it in a blasing hot oven!
go to wine tasting events some have a lot of info on them and you'l learn a lot!
Good luck
Relax reisling is really good too!
Mad luv

Wine is fermented and that process takes a while. Not all wine gets better with Age.
I think the whole thing is a sham anyway.
I do like German Reisling wines. They are good

Formation, the barrel it sits in helps with the process.
The best I've ever had, a 1947 Chateau Margaux
