For 8-10 years if it is unpalatable because of excessive tannin or other problems. Otherwise, it should be ready for consumption when purchased.

Red Wine should be stored at 50-55ºF so it can be stored in a wine rack located in an area kept at this temperature or a wine cellar/cooler or wine refrigerator kept at this temperature.
