The wine I an referring to Is a vintage wine from 2001? Is It still safe to drink. It tastes like fire water, yet after drinking It I did not get sick, apart from the obvious normal hangover?

It is still safe but won't be too good in taste. Drink white wine a half an hour after you bring it from the wine shop. Why wait?

Did you know some people collect bottles of expensive rare wines, that are probably undrinkable if opened.
Wine can improve over age, but it is not indefinite. Wine will peak, and there is no exact answer to this. It depends on the type of wine.
White wines tend to be drunk younger than red wines, but can be stored like red wines.
The problem is that if you wine is not stored properly it will turn into vinegar (good for salads and cooking ha ha).
This is most likely what has happened to your wine. Wine stores well at the right temperature and out of the sun. If you left it in the middle of your living room, come summer, winter and so on....too bad.
If you have a bottle of wine you want to keep, then store it flat (not upright) in a cool, but not cold place. If you have a basement, this is the best, otherwise, the back of the cupboard is not that bad.
Whatever you do, don't let it sit in the sun.
And the best place to store wine..in your belly.

You must store it on its side to keep the cork moist or else It Will dry out and be ruined. Turning a good bottle 90 degrees once per month will keep any sediment from forming . Wine generally does not taste ime fire water so I wonder what you have,

Wines will generally keep for quite some time if they are of a quality vintage. If they are a nouveau wine, they are designed to be drunk right away. If you uncork and it tastes poor, it is bad, don't drink it LOL.

White wines should be drunk within about 3 to 5 years of being bottled. After that they tend to start turning to vinegar, which is still drinkable, but not very tasty.
