What type of wine is good for 1-20 years?

I'd say Vintage Port is a good option. You can enjoy the same vintage, over 20 years

Port's a good suggestion. I might opt for a vintage Champagne. First of all, bubbly is always a celebration. And second, it's fun to watch it mature and deepen and become more complex over the years (yeah, like a marriage -- I know I'm getting sappy, mea culpa). Or maybe a top Riesling. Or a Burgundy (white or red). Or maybe...

Too many choices! But the best choice is obviously a wine that you like.

Finally, CONGRATS!

agreed

Agreed on the Champagne. Let's not forget however, that it's all for naught if not stored properly.......

Well seeing that you asked for red wine ... the most obviousl answer is a well made red wine from a decent vintage in a style that you like...

Ex... try France - Bordeaux, Burgundy,and Southern Rhone.. most wines that are easy to find, are decent, and likely to last will cost $50->

... but most regions these days make wine capable of improving with time.

Take a look at a Vintage Chartand look for a region that produces wine in a style you appreciate that is rated well.. Sign up for a free cellar tracker account and you can get reviews and predictions on any wine you are looking at or just google the bottle.

If you pick a region, style,and price there are tonnes of people here that would point out some good suggestions.

Thanks for the tips everyone.

Ill do a little more research and get back to everyone.

First growth Bordeaux if you can afford a case
