Don't want to make it sound elitist, but Frei Brothers anything is not worth "aging". These wines are made for drinking short term. Same with roughly 95% of the wines in the marketplace. Buy and drink them, if you like how they taste now just drink them, they won't improve much if at all, aging or not. In fact, they will loose most of the stuffing with age. No sense in buying expensive equipment. And there is always the next vintage coming down the pipeline, it won't differ much from the year before.

Some high end wines may improve (there is no "formula") and are made for aging, but we're talking $50-75 a bottle and up, often way up, probably not the subject of the thread.
