5 years, but I've been to bars with vintage lists that include beers over a decade old.

What do you mean by this?

Is age the reason for large discrepancies in pricing for wines of the same style?

Largely. I'm not talking $15-$40, but major price discrepancies $100-over $1000

I mean, it takes a great deal of space, usually airconditioned, to keep large quantities of reserve wine. This plus insurance costs plenty of money. This has to be factored into the cost. 5 year old beer is old for beer but it's nothing in wine age.

I'm not knocking beer, it's just not comporable.
