Sure I'd seen something on TV where wines and spirits that were the oldest were like over £100 a drink in some posh club down in the capital!

The aging process requires professionals to make those alcoholic beverages age in the right temperature and other conditions. Our residential homes don't have temperature controls or other things to make such beverages last. And once they are bottled, there is little you can do to preserve such delicacies for more than a few years at best, or one year at worst, or a few months once the bottle has been opened.
