Does Alcohol spoil? Like vodka does is spoil after a short or long period of time?

Answer 1

Distilled alcohol/spirits don't spoil, per se.
The more alcohol is present, the harder it is to go bad. While most spirits can lose flavor over time, the actual alcohol in it doesn't ever go bad.

Liquers like Baileys, even though they contain distilled alcohol, go bad and generally have a freshness date printed on them.

Wine can go bad. Exposure to oxygen causes wine to start to turn to vinegar. Sometimes corks can rot, become moldy, dry out...all of those can make your wine go bad.

Most beers start to lose their freshness after 6-9 months. Some stronger ales can be aged and will get sweeter and maltier as time goes on, but won't taste 'fresh' after about a year.

Answer 2

I have 3 bottles of alcohol in my cupboard and they have been there for quite a while over a year and a half and they are still excellent. So I'm going to say that it lasts a long time.

Answer 3

confusing Spirits won't wreck like Wine does (as an occasion) as quickly as opened. you could shop spirits open (yet sealed with cap for sure) for a protracted volume of time. Even longer interior the freezer the place 80 evidence stuff won't freeze. Saves the ice and the dilution of your drink of decision.

Alcohol does not spoil but make sure it is tightly capped because it will evaporate otherwise if left open.
