This depends entirely on the particular Champagne. Most non-vintage cuvées are recommended for consumption within 5 years of bottling. However, some vintage Champagnes (particularly those that have been late-disgorged) will continue to improve with age for many decades.
Where wines are concerned, the broad spectrum of varied products prohibits generalisation. If you have a specific bottle that you would like to keep, please email me with details of the bottle to eddie@vintagewinesltd.co.uk and I shall be more than happy to let you know more about the wine you have.
Hope this helps.

It won't last long, actually. Think about how long it takes for a can of Coke to taste like crap. There's your answer. You want champagne to be crisp- even more so than Coke, I presume. All you have to do is simply cover the opening of the bottle between pours. Use some Glad Press n seal to cover the opening. Be sure to dry around it with a paper towel first. I know it sounds like a lot of trouble, but it's really not. Hopefully you'll be drinking at a steady enough rate to make up for the small amount of air exposure. Once you're good and drunk, you won't even care how the booze tastes, anyway! Happy New Year!

From what I've read, most commercial Champagnes should be drunk within a few years. Better ones can be stored in a cool, dark place on their side with the neck slanted down to keep the cork wet for years. Turn them every month gently. Now, once it's in the fridge, it can not come back to room temp and must be drunk within two months of refrigeration. Enjoy the bubbly!

Even the best champagne starts to fade after nine years. Drink it young and spend a few bucks and buy something decent.

It is only bubbly for a short time much like soda pop. However it is still good with orange juice as part of a fancy New Years Day breakfast.

It'll last ages, but not in our house, fizz, especially the good stuff doesn't stay in the fridge for long :)
Get it down your neck mate!
